Today we had our annual visit from Terry Folkers from HJS Wholesale, our supplier for pots, plastic trays, soil and more. HJS plays a major role in helping Green Acres operate season after season 💚
We first met Terry at New Blooms in 2023 during Martial's first year working alongside Mel. Right away, Terry was willing to cheer us on and share his knowledge, helping us understand one of the many pieces of the greenhouse business puzzle.
Every year, Terry shows up with his display trailer and helps Martial “shop" for the following season. He walks through our inventory, helps evaluate what worked well, and makes recommendations that help ensure we're bringing in quality products at prices that make sense for both us and our customers.
As first-time business owners, having relationships with people who genuinely care about your success makes all the difference. Terry has been one of those people and we appreciate having him in our corner.
The craziest part? This means we’re already planning for next season 😅🌱
