Wholesale Information and Policies....

We are a small grower who prefers to cater to Retail clients from mid-October through May. We do sell the plants grown here at the farm on a wholesale basis to Garden Centers in Western North Carolina or to Florida customers who meet the following criteria:

To be considered for wholesale prices you must have a firm grasp of both botanical & common plant names. You must also be able to visually identify the plants you are requesting and complete a Wholesale Application in our office.

If you talk on your cell phone or radio, you MUST remain in your vehicle. We are not interested in hearing what should be private conversations.

You MUST charge your client a FULL RETAIL MARKUP on plants that you purchase from Shadowood. Lawn Maintenance and Installation Firms who pass on their Wholesale discount to customers HURT OUR INDUSTRY and THREATEN THE LIVELIHOOD OF EVERY GROWER!!! Ours is one of the few “markets” where our Wholesale Prices have decreased in the past 15 years, while our production costs have skyrocketed! Most Growers are struggling to make ends meet. Those of you that “low ball” your pricing or are stupid enough to let a customer con you into to selling to them at Cost are NOT welcome here.

It is up to you to know what you are looking for and to familiarize yourself with our plants. Study on your own time, don’t expect us to educate you. If you don’t have a firm grasp of basic horticulture, find a new job. If you take up time with our sales people (other than for loading your order and payment), if you ask what we consider to be too many questions - you will be considered a Retail Customer.

You must be an active Landscape Architect, Landscape Installation Firm or Nursery with an active Martin County Business License and have a reputation for performing good work. We must have a copy of that license on file. If we’ve heard that you don’t pay your bills or don’t take good care of your clients - we will not sell to you. We DO NOT sell wholesale to Building Contractors or Homeowner Associations who are trying to cut the Landscape Contractor out of the financial equation. This also hurts our industry!

You are welcome to bring your clients here to the Farm to discuss YOUR plant choices with them; however, we will NOT make ourselves available to answer questions YOUR client may have. Your client - YOUR responsibility to provide them with answers (unless you want to pay retail)!

Payment for all sales to Wholesale Clients are “Due Upon Receipt”. We do not extend credit but will accept Visa & Master Card for an additional 3% of total invoice.
If you call and ask us to “pull” an order for you, there will be a $45.00 restocking fee if you don’t show up to get your plants when you say that you will.

In order for Florida customers to be exempt from paying Sales & Use Tax, you must fill out a Blanket Certificate and provide us with a copy of your original Sales Tax Registration Form each year.
