Dealer Benefits

Valleybrook Gardens is one of North America's largest growers of herbaceous perennials with over 1500 varieties in our lineup. We are a leader in the industry with our innovative marketing and strict, consistent quality standards.

Valleybrook’s focus is you, the independent retail garden centre. Our goal is to help you differentiate your garden centre from the mass merchants and to help you grow your business profitably. You will not see our branded products like Heritage Perennials®, Jeepers Creepers® , or Rock Stars® at the corner store that opens for 4 weeks in spring, nor will you see them at the Home Depots and Canadian Tires in your market. We are committed entirely to you.

There are a lot of reasons for Valleybrook's success as a preferred perennial supplier for garden centers. Take a closer look at what we have to offer:

• Pre-pricing to help you reduce labor costs and increase turns on your valuable bench space. Our Summer’s Best Sellers program which allows you to keep your benches full of color throughout the season while returning excess in the fall, resulting in greater sales while eliminating the risk of overbuying, improving your bottom line!
• Uniquely packaged products such as Rock Stars and Jeepers Creepers, accompanied by colorful and unique POP materials.  These products are unusual, appealing, and directly marketed to solve a consumer need.
• A coop allowance program that takes 2% of your purchases and apply it to POP materials, or even help you pay for advertising!
• Merchandizing tools such as signage, posters & banners, information centres, brochures, and clothing, all available through your coop allowance!
• Weekly updated seasonal Hot List to help with your selection process at www.valleybrook.com
• Promotion and exposure to thousands of consumers at Consumer Gardening Shows
• Quality custom bench and display systems
• Our Perennial Gardening Guide, the best seller that has sold over 150,000 copies!
• Our own state of the art website  www.perennials.com – a superb resource for your customers
• Free monthly newsletter complete with trend identification and merchandizing tips
• Weekly availability lists and weekly deliveries, ensuring a constant supply of fresh product
• A sales team with garden centre experience, merchandizing expertise, and an understanding of what will sell fastest on your bench

We pack a lot of value into a little pot!

However, we all know that added value and features don’t mean a thing if the plant material doesn’t look good. Even low prices don’t result in profits if the plants just sit on your bench.

The thing we do best, and have always done best, is grow superb quality plants that your customers will find irresistible. Every pot you receive from us has been individually hand picked, cleaned, weeded, top dressed and tagged in a strict quality control process. In fact, in our annual customer survey of our top garden centres, Valleybrook has consistently been rated #1 in quality over other major perennial suppliers year after year.

Try HERITAGE™ Perennials and Jeepers Creepers™ on your bench this season! We think they’ll sell faster than any other perennial line you carry. And that means more money where it belongs: in your pocket, not on the bench.

Call one of our experienced team and we'll be happy to learn more about your operation and recommend solutions that will help you become more profitable.
