Reseller/landscaper customers

I don't track cumulative purchases; however, a quantity discount is available for one-time purchases over $500. Please inquire. Payment by cash or check is required to be eligible for the discount; no credit/debit cards or PayPal please.

*Note on pot sizes: We're going by vernacular usage when using terms such as "1 gallon", "2 gallon", etc. The pot sizes are actually somewhat smaller than a true gallon, 2 true gallons, etc.
