Saturday plans 5/21

 Happy Saturday,  It’s been a stressful few days! I want to touch on a couple of things I may not have made clear to everyone.  1. We need to be making an active effort to check the labels on every item for sun or shade. I have not seen it often, but I have seen it happen where we are putting shade product in full sun. This is a major concern because it will give those items bruising, burns, and other unsightly issues. This causes increased toss and effects our profits and numbers overall. One item I’ve noticed is a problem is the SUNPATIENTS - these typically come in the $26.99 and $18.99 priced hanging baskets and patio planters, but it also comes in their own individual containers (flats). Even though these are marked as shade, I have found overtime that they do not hold up well in full sun. Let me explain - Impatients are a popular shade flower. Basically a hybrid was made to be able to withstand more sun exposure, but we’ve found (from personal experience) that direc...

Wednesday plans!!  No floral needs for Wednesday.  Garden rack counts  Gahanna 6 Lancaster 6 Reynoldsburg 9 Grove City 10 Canal 10  My boss is touring stores tomorrow - please use extra time to make sure things look good, are well watered, signed, cleaned, and organized.  There is a chance of rain in the afternoon so try to get started early. Still prioritize watering in the morning despite possible rain. With the current heat trends, we will benefit from having an extra watering in the afternoon regardless.  We should be trying to build branded tables whenever possible. This means keep garden exclusives together, garden ex planters on the tables, garden ex hanging baskets, etc. All cool wave together, proven winners together, etc. Whenever possible.  My current trends for front sun tables is dipladinas, cool wave petunias and sun garden exclusives. Ill include a few examples below.  (144) Garden exclusives over garden exclusives, even...

Monday 5/2 plans

Happy Monday! I'm going to be honest. This is going to be a tough week. Deliveries should be on time but may not always be. I am going to schedule you regardless of delivieres to stay on top of product. We can make small adjustments here and there as needed. This is the best week to call me instead of texting me with any urgent or concerning questions. This week, please check with me before leaving your store early.  In floral - all five stores have a 3 pallet delivery. We need to work on cleaning up our displays, making it large and visually appealing, and saving our table space for the smaller gift product that doesn't look as good on the large displays. We need to focus on our watering, as dry product will likely not sell. People get really serious about their moms. We need to make sure we are doing our best to keep product looking good and signed. This is a stressful week for floral. You will have a lot of product and feel like you have too much. This is why we allow backst...
