Free Plants No Takers

[Nyboy]

Waste from not watering plants drives me crazy, sometimes I have to fight the desire to grab a hose and water myself.

 

[so lucky]

I don't know what grower those plants are from, but I do know that Bonnie Plants put plants in on consignment. If they die or don't sell, the merchant gets credit for them. That doesn't really give the staff much incentive to keep them watered.
When I was in that situation, though, I felt like a wilted plant reflected badly on me and my store, whether I was going to get full credit for it or not!

Lucky I agree it does reflect badly on store

The coop usually has some nice plants,

It's a "co operative." @majorcatfish check that little red book. To the board meeting with a list of your wants and grievances!

Co-op? You know, I just might have shopped there back in the early '70's when it was an IGA. Never could make it to the downtown farmers' market when I was again a resident a decade later, always gone for those Saturdays and the weekend working ...

Co-Op I guess. Every state I have lived in has one and each town usually. A lot of them sell Purina products. You will find hay, straw, chicken, horse, and rabbit food, fencing, lots of farming supplies and usually they have a gas station and sell gasoline, and like a lot of stores will have plants outside in the spring. They did sell seed potatoes.

Oh heck's fire!

I'd ask GWR if she's talking about Cenex but that's a big outfit with corporate shareholders.

No, I thought she meant a FOOD co-op. The grain elevator co-ops don't have retail items. But, I know of an Idaho food co-op ... ya know, GWR is a mystery to me .

now, properly caffeinated!

Start shopping at the places where the gardening center is a second thought and the staff doesn't know plants. ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR, the WM Close to my office don't know a dandelion from a daisy! They clearance geraniums that are only slightly wilted! We picked up bargains last Friday, and one lady paid about $40.00, more than half of the original price for a good >100 plants, many of them perennials.
