We're committed to selling our products ONLY to Independent Retail Nurseries and Garden Centers. We simply won 't sell our nursery stock to big box chain stores and mass merchandisers. This has been our philosophy from the start, and it remains our philosophy today.
We pride ourselves on growing quality nursery stock. To ensure its success, we need a quality partner — the Independent Retailer. These Preferred Garden Centers provide the value, expertise, and personal touch that you, the consumer, need, and a big box store can't provide. Our retailers can offer planting instructions and discuss watering techniques. They'll inquire about plant location, sun vs. shade, soil condition, pruning, and Hardiness Zone information. Mass merchandisers can't dedicate their sales staff to this type of individual customer service. That's why our brand will only be found exclusively in retail centers operated by approved, Pennsylvania Pride Preferred Garden Center Professionals.
The Depots, Marts and Bull's Eyes serve a great purpose in the retail world. However, by diluting their focus and trying to be all things to all people, they are unable to be true experts in the one area that our dealers are exceptional at — nursery sales and support. Their goal is to unload mass-produced, inexpensive stock as quickly as possible, with no thought to service after the sale. This is why our dealers continue to surpass them ... service and support.
But we know you expect more from us. You expect the premium quality nursery stock you purchase from Pennsylvania Pride will survive the first winter, and not have to be returned, exchanged, and replanted in the spring. You expect expert advice. You expect that what you're about to buy has been properly grown and cared for. And, you expect a more diverse selection, including topiary and specialty trees and shrubs. You expect and believe that your local, independent garden center will know you, and take a personal interest in you, and in the successful growth of your home landscape. We understand that.
By selling only to fine, independent garden centers approved under the Pennsylvania Pride Preferred Garden Center program, we've shown you a brand you can trust, that's "guaranteed" year after year. Come grow with us!
You won't have any trouble locating Pennsylvania Pride products at your local Garden Center. We've developed helpful and attractive signage to guide you in your search for the best plant to suit your landscape needs. Look for these signs as you shop and you'll find superior trees and shrubs with the exclusive 3-Year Homeowner Guarantee.
Look for this tag. It means the Pennsylvania Pride item you've purchased is guaranteed by the grower for 3 years from the date of purchase. Since maintaining a distinctive home landscape takes work, take comfort in the peace of mind you'll have by planting Pennsylvania Pride Trees and Shrubs.
