These are certainly strange times we’re living through. But how wonderful it is to see everyone pulling together as one to protect our friends, families, neighbours and the heroes working at the sharp end of the pandemic.
Over 40% of Brits think of themselves as gardeners, and over half a million of us work in the horticulture industry. That’s a lot of very frustrated green fingers and thumbs, especially at this time of year!
Whilst garden centres aren’t able to open just yet, many are doing their best to offer local delivery services where they can. Partly to support the community but also to help protect over 650 amazing UK commercial growers, whose businesses are currently at risk.
It couldn’t be easier to get started. You can choose between a self-service online signup process or, if you prefer, you can sign up in person over the phone. Either way, it only takes a few minutes.
Once your store has been created, it just needs some products. You can list any products you wish. If you think customers want it and you’re happy to deliver it, simply add the product details, add a photo and a price and it will appear in your store instantly.
If you’ve got a lot of products to add, we can help you do that all in one go. Simply send us a file from a spreadsheet program and we’ll get the products added in no time.
We’re also working with growers and wholesale suppliers to populate our database with their product details. You can quickly and easily choose which of their products you’d like to sell in your online store and they’ll appear there with full product details, photos and a suggested retail price. All of which you can edit as you see fit.
