When I grew ornamentals, the calendar largely dictated what filled the greenhouse.
Easter and Mother’s Day crops, spring bedding plants, fall crops, then poinsettias. Finish one season, start the next. It’s easy for that familiar schedule to become a familiar product selection.
These hanging arrangements caught my eye in Thailand because they looked so different from what I was used to growing and selling. An unusual container and contrasting textures made them worth stopping to look at.
Proven sellers pay the bills, but setting aside a little space to try something different can give customers a reason to come back.
The seasons will repeat. Your selection doesn’t have to.
