New England Grows

Can't believe a week went by so quickly! I got a chance to attend New England Grows this year and meet a lot of our "Northern" customers. Even though the weather was chilly I had a very warm welcoming! I have to say it was a lovely week. Many customers gave me great input and suggestions to help with our service. One of them was to have more descriptions on our avalabilities. SO, starting this week please notice that we took your suggestions and put them into play on the current availability. We'd like to hear from you about our changes!

Have a Happy Valentine's Day!

IPN Plant Photos Now Available

 You can now access hundreds of plant photos linked to each plant variety in the new IPN Live Availability System. These are photos that we have taken  the last three years at IPN.  Each plant may contain up to three photos and we plan to continue to build this great sales tool to include a general photo, as well as two other feature photos such as fall leaf color, or bark closeup, etc. 
 We still have work to do, so we appreciate your patience, but for now, there's plenty of photos to enjoy and utilize. 

To view some of these new photos, follow this link to the IPN homepage and then select Live Availabilities at the bottom.  Once there, you will see plant names with small thumbnail photos (seen above).  Click on the thumbnail photo to open the details window (example below).  Try it and let us know what you think!

Post-MANTS 2011 Update

The post MANTS results are in and the overall vision for spring is steady improvement.  Previous years' planting reductions by many growers are beginning to surface and product availability is tightening. We continue to plant and prepare for the future. There may be a shortage of flowering trees in the market that we currently have available (quantities are limited). While many things are changing in the industry, we are committed to being a consistent plant source for you!

Conservative, just-in-time buying continues to be the norm and therefore our No Minimum Order Amount, Consistent Plant Quality and Great Service is a great set of tools for your business today!

Who's your plant source for the future?

A lot of things are changing.  Major portions of the industry are shaken, changing damatically or even going away.  These times are challenging many to consider who will be their grower source for the future.  You want to be sure to be doing business with those who will be here for the long term.  Who is still planting and not just selling what's left on the ground?  Do you know? Do you have your long-term vendors set?

At Ingleside Plantation Nurseries, everything we do is centered around the long-term business.  We are entering our third generation of family-owned business.  When others have not planted for the future, we have continued to do so.  We want to be your grower source for the future.  Our goal is to supply you with a quality plant of high-perceived value, all without branding.  It should be your brand you carry, not ours.  We should be your grower supporting your brand, not the other way around.

While we are not perfect, we are striving to be the long-term source for you to count on in growing your future business.  We're dedicated to a long-term approach to your business.  How many companies can say that? 

Call us today to discuss your future needs.

We're looking forward to your success!
