Selling Seedlings

barbamWY · February 19, 2015

I was wondering if those of you that sell seedlings provide boxes or flats for your customers? I put on a Home & Garden Expo each year and between running the plant sale side and the vendor side of it, it is a full time job. I also ask local merchants to save boxes but then there is the problem of where to put them since my house if full of racks of plants. I have asked customers to bring boxes but only a few do. Do you purchase flats for use or other containers? I even thought of drink holders if they would work. I can purchase pop flats from the local bottling company. Do you provide your customers something to hold the plants they purchase?
