It’s a difficult year. Far too many
of Brandy’s sales calls were ending badly this summer and fall. With a
regionwide drought, home gardeners weren’t planting.
Many communities in the area enacted
mandatory watering restrictions. This dried up the garden center market.
The region’s landscapers were also
leery of planting trees. Many feared their clients would neglect new plantings
and they’d perish, leaving the contractor stuck with replacement costs to honor
guarantees. So landscapers were generally sticking to hardscape installation
until the drought blows over.
And all this leaves Greene
Family Nursery high and dry. The nursery has thousands of units to move, and
nobody to sell them to. What would you do?
