Return Policy

I've struggled with developing a good return policy that protects my business but doesn't make me look like a bad guy. Currently I will refund by exchanging another plant/same plant of equal value after discussing why the plant died with the customer. I very rarely get returns but when I do, it's never been me who's at fault for selling a low quality plant. If it was, I would gladly refund. It's always been the customer who's either forgotten to water or overwatered. It never fails the first…See More

Help putting poly on greenhouses

 Does anyone know of a business or possibly even employees of your own greenhouse business in Iowa that I could hire to recover my greenhouses? The greenhouse business is located just south of Des Moines. In the past we've done it ourselves, but we're behind schedule on building a new greenhouse, I'm starting to feel the pressure to get this done before this growing season starts.  Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!See More
