“Getting rich on shipping”….HA! That’s hilarious. Jenny, I can’t imagine what it took and is still taking to get the shipping program going. Thanks to you and Jerry for undertaking this massive effort. It going to allow those of us that have limited access to proven winners an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful plants.
It really is!
@@GardeningwithCreeksideI hope you can keep stuff in stock.
Thank you guys, for all your hard work. I can’t imagine what it takes to get this going. I much rather buy from a family business than a box store. Wish I lived closer! 💕
Ditto, Barbara. Im in SoCal but did order online.
Good morning, Jenny and Jerry! So fun to see what's happening at the nursery. Exciting times for your business for sure. Wish that we lived closer to Creekside... I'd be shopping often 😂
I hate it when people complain about shipping on anything but especially from small businesses. It's so inexpensive in comparison to buying an airplane ticket or driving your car across country to pick up the thing.
People need to lighten up. My sons own a tea shop in Raleigh and I have watched them change and adapt their ecommerce site for the past 14 years. People have no idea of the costs to develop a good site and owners have to constantly pay all sorts of professionals to create and maintain the site to keep it relevant. Over a period of time a good site for a growing business will cost upwards of $200,000. You guys are doing a great job so don't let the negative Nellies pull you down. I look forward to your post everyday.
Good morning! Jerry mentioned your goal is to get proven winners plants into the customers hands who may not be able to get them locally. That was absolutely the case for me. I am ecstatic to have been able to order them from you. I received them in perfect condition and planted them the same day. Thank you,thank you, thank you!
That is wonderful to hear! Thank you for sharing & for your support of Creekside 💗
I don’t normally comment but wanted to share my experience shopping online. I ordered a couple of the firelight tidbit hydrangeas as soon as your website went live. It has been hard to find them locally. This order is being shipped to the Boise Idaho area, so not close. I did find one at a local garden center but I needed 2 and felt it was overpriced. I got 2 from Creekside and paid shipping and it was still less than what 1 plant was at my local garden center. The 1 plant may have been a larger container size, but I don’t mind waiting for them to grow and I trust the quality that I will get from Creekside. I also feel good about supporting this sweet family and employees. It has been a great experience and I will get my plants this week. I am so excited and grateful that you give us the opportunity to get things that we may not find locally. I felt the plant price and shipping were very reasonable. Thank you for all that you do.
I can't imagine everything it takes to get an online operation going. I appreciate all of your efforts and hard work! So excited for all of your expansion.
Thank you so much!!
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!!!
I received my Double Doozie Spirea in the mail today!! It is in great shape, healthy, soil a little moist and it lost no leaves during shipping. It was packed very well. Thank you for taking such good care of it to prepare for shipping. I just love the little guy!! Yall ROCK!!❤❤
I planted three double doozie spirea in April of this year. They look great, got through the hot summer and are flowering right now. Much good luck with them.
@@maureenmckenna5220 That is good to hear thank you for letting me know
Thank you for the visit! Looking forward to the new merchandise! I would be proud to wear your logo on my hat.
Always fun to hear the conversation!
Hi, it is so nice to hear Jerry, and you today, great video!
Wanted you to know how it is out here in video land. Watching you explain the good, bad and ugly side of plants helps us all to decide what we might want to plant. Having done that, we often can’t find either the variety or size we want. Since most of us aren’t around the corner from you, you provide a huge opportunity to put our hands on plants we cherish. Everybody out here is anxious for you to get it all off the ground, and will be patient. I just love that you have grown your business from the ground up, and have stayed true to your principles. You will do it all beautifully. Relax and know that it will all work out.
My daughter deals in products that have to be shipped (often big heavy pieces) since the end of the Pandemic, the cost for their company have tripled... it is absolutely crazy! I don't envy you that mess at all! Good luck!😊
Creekside shrubs are worth the wait. 💚 I just waited several weeks for a sticker order from an artist. I could have received stickers from elsewhere much sooner, but they would not have been even close to the quality. Same goes for plants 💚
Creekside hats!?! I'm so excited!!!
Morning Jenny n Jerry so happy your business is growing its 42 here in Tn this morning keep growing
So excited to receive shipping notice that my online ordered is on its way!
You answered my question!!! Thank you so much! I have had mums come back the next year in my pots but they started blooming in spring so I tossed them out ❤ from your neighbor in East Tennessee.
Great info on the website & shipping! I am a recently retired Manager of Supply Chain Services for a multibillion international company, whatever the size company the struggle is real!!! I could only imagine answering questions for package companies for shipping needs. The systems required to be as efficient as possible, ugh!!! You all are doing a great job!!! Can’t wait for Spring!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you both!
Just wanted to say that I enjoyed our visit and purchase from your wonderful nursery last week. Your staff are amazing! Very sweet and eager to answer any questions that we had. We came to find shade loving plants but ended up getting a bundle of beautiful plants for our full sun steep hill on our property. As a Floridian transplant, I suffer from the winter blues, so hubby fell in love with the “evergreen bowling balls 😂” as a possible solution. I told him that you talked about them and that they remained small and that sealed the deal. Again thank you for everything you and your staff do. 🤗🤗🤗
Love ya both! Thank you!
Just love you guys! Thank you for making gardening so enjoyable.
I'm so excited to watch your family business grow. Your hard work and honest work ethics do not go unnoticed. I think you should print and frame that sweet picture of the entire staff lunching at the picnic table. I have a feeling that in the years to come you will reflect back on that when your business has grown ten-fold. I just placed an order for a chiffon pink Rose of Sharon - can't wait. 💖
When I decided to order from you, I understood that you’d be shipping across the country so cost is higher. I took into account that the plants will have a longer travel time so maybe they’ll be more stressed. Some of the plants aren’t common here, so maybe they’ll do well, but maybe not. Either way, it’s a fun experiment. I wouldn’t blame you all:) I like supporting your business.
Jerry,
If ya'all are going to be having the talks in various places around the property, along w/ chairs, you'll need to bring a small table or tray so Jenny can have a place to set her beloved coffee! 😉😊
I had a mum I bought last fall and enjoyed it for that season. Then I just left it in the pot (regular plastic kind) over winter thinking I would clean it up in the spring and use the soil somewhere in the landscape. (I live near Toronto where the snow falls heavily and the ground freezes. 5a) Lo and behold before I had a chance to do anything in Spring I noticed little green leaves. The leaves became big and lasted the whole summer. It is now fully blooming. I am now trying to debating whether to over winter it inside or just plant in the ground
Great video. Thanks for all the information. We do greatly appreciate it. I'm very excited about your new online website!
Thank you Jenny and Jerry. 🎃🍁🍂💚🙃
Thank you, for providing great information on how, where, and when to plant. You all have helped take the guesswork out of gardening and make it even easier by expanding your business to include shipping. this will help me to get my hands on plants that proven Winners aren't selling directly to the consumer but to suppliers. In my area, we don't have many proven Winner plants or Southern Living plants. So, thank you again for filling that void.
Thank you so much for your online sales program - I was thrilled to receive my 4 shrubs earlier this week. Some of them I could not find locally and needed - Mr poppins, Yang viburnum. Sweet talker viburnum and amberness rose.
Hi Jenny and Jerry. I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the help you have given me this season. I have grown to trust your guidance on all things gardening. Your work ethic is inspiring. I live in the North Carolina mountains, zone 6B. I too have red clay soil in most of my spaces but my temps are not as high as you. It is 32 degrees here this morning and our first frost. My husband and I are hoping to visit Creekside in the future. Thank you again for the time and tremendous effort you put into your channel.
Thank you so much for your kind words and we hope to see you soon 💗
What a great and informative video Jenny and Jerry are the best! I have been on the online store looking over all the plants! I will be looking for your new online also. I use espomosa products i go to our local amish greenhouse they have it all!
I’m on the coast in Massachusetts, zone 6B.
I love your response to the mum question. I live local to Creekside and when I purchased my house there were mums in several flower bed. They spread like crazy and have been tricky to remove, they keep coming back. I wish I loved them in the bed bc they would make good filler but they’re just too unruly lol. Thanks for your content and I look forward to visiting again.
Thank you both so much for the great information...We live on the prairie in Montana🙃 had to plant each and every one of our 85 trees single handedly ...fighting off the deer, gophers, bugs, droughts and freezing temperatures in addition to having to haul water since we do not have a well.
We love watching you build up your home and business and we know how much time and effort it takes.
I also was interested in trying to get my hands on the Land &Sea and the Proven Winners soil products and it was too expensive because of the shipping I'm pretty sure. Just wanted to say we love your show your home is beautiful amongst all of those treeeee's ..Godbless you and keep up the Good (Godly) work😉
.
I like ProMix the big compressed bale.
Waiting on more perennials on the website!!!💙
Congratulations on your growth and continued success!
Thank you so much!
I looked at your website your store looks fantastic I will be ordering from you for sure
Awesome, thank you!
I have found that sometimes I can purchase twice as many plants and still be within a close shipping price. I just add plants to my order and check the shipping total.
I used Proven Winners potting soil in my containers for the first time this year. My local Ace Hardware will special order it for me. It was no extra cost and it came in within 2 days. It was totally worth it. I have used all Proven Winners annuals for many years now. They cannot be beat in my opinion. I love your videos!
I agree with miracle grow this year.
I had rocks, large bark and the odor. Was not happy with it at all.
Plants struggled so much I planted them in the ground. Waste of $$$.
I can't imagine shipping a bag of Land and Sea, ridiculous! Here in California, you can easily find a retailer by putting in your zip code and Espoma guides you
to a retailer. The masses are leaving the mom and pop shops for Amazon in droves. Here in our N. CA town business are down by 40% thanks in part to Amazon,
Good morning Jenny and Jerry! Have an awesome week .
You too!!
I have purchased many shrubs and trees online as we don't really have a big garden center nearby. I look forward to buying from you! One problem I have is that when the plants arrive they are small and as they grow, they don't always fill in to form big, bushy plants. I am so afraid to prune this little guys. Could you ever do a video on how to get full bushes out of little sprigs?
Watching from Delaware.
I got my pre-order plants last week and they were very well packed and came looking green and beautiful! You guys are doing a great job!
Awesome! Thank you!
How much more land do you'll have available for possible future expansion? Love the channel and anxious for the online sales. I'm retired and don't get out much so looking forward to some shopping. Also, will the aquapots need drained before a freeze?
Thank you Jenny and Jerry and please keep Jerry’s body well fed, he’s got a lot of work to do 😂😂
Jenny & Gerry! Amen to the costs in shipping! I worked in the warehousing and distribution field for many years and there's tons of small costs that add up. Shoot, even the cost of shipping labels can be ridiculous. Not to mention printers, the ink, tape and so many other things people just don't realize.
You are 💯 correct!!!!
Unfortunately PW soil and Espoma products are not available at garden nurseries where I live in 🇨🇦. The box stores discontinued the soil this year.
I can't even imagine trying to figure out all the logistics of the shipping and cost of it 😮 my husband has a come apart whenever we have to ship anything to family!
I was thinking about ordering a felco clippers from you folks but by the time shipping was included I changed my mind. I’ll wait awhile and revisit the online store and see if anything has changed. And yes I get that shipping is expensive. 🎃🍁🍂💚🙃
What variety of a white and mophead hydrangea that will tolerate more shade and still be a good bloomer. Looking for a shrub about 4 +/-.
Please add bigger sizes for us plus size gardeners :)
What varieties of a white and a mophead hydrangea that will tolerate more shade and still bloom well?
Looking for something that will grow about 4’ +/-.
Jenny,
Will there be a HOT PINK Creekside cap? 😉
...a matching hot pink Creekside tee would be cool, too. 😁
Good Morning, Jenny & Jerry! You all are such an inspiration! I am in Nashville (7a), so I get a wealth of information from your channel. I studied and researched all summer and finally got my backyard landscaping installed this week! I’m going back and forth about whether I should fertilize my evergreens and crape myrtles. What’s your advice? I’ll wait on my hydrangeas, pugster pinkers, roses, etc. Thank you so much!❤
Granular fertilizers are activated by heat which will stimulate new growth. New growth can be damaged by frosts and cold. All you need at this time of year is Biotone when planting.
@@ncallick4226thank you!!
A chit chat with Jenny and Jerry
Will you be selling larger shrubs and perennials like 3 gallons or 5 gallons?
I can’t even imagine all the things with shipping … what box for what product (I learned a long time ago there are box sales people I had no idea) & then how many do you order & where do you store them? And it’s not like you can reuse other boxes-a lot of the shipments are living things! - & what carrier to use (do they all provide the same services to the same places? - & getting their apps installed & label makers printing & staff trained & oh my goodness 😵💫 I’m waiting to order things as I know coming from Creekside they will be quality & I will be supporting all the families ❤❤❤
You are exactly correct! The logistics in shipping live plants is mind blowing 🤯
Hi 👋 Jenny
Home Depot delivered Proven Winners potting soil to my house for free. Unfortunately it also brought fungus gnats into my house big time!
Potting soil USED to say sterilized but no bags say that anymore which is a shame. I've been experimenting with both heating plastic bags of soil in my microwave and also filling a pot and pouring boiling water through it. Both slow things down and are a pain. Should not be necessary but clearly it is.
Honestly, I can't believe you guys are even getting into shipping plants. Ecommerce is a ton of work by itself, but shipping live things? I wish you luck.
Thanks! It’s a beast for sure 😂
Newsletter? Where?
I have a hard time to find a Proven Winners potting soil in my area. I have heard than Happy Frog is a good soil. What do you guys think?
🙋
Kính chúc anh chị ngày mới thật vui vẻ hạnh phúc nhiều sức khỏe nhiều Mai Mắn trong công việc ❤❤❤
She should try
For people that think you make money on shipping they haven’t shipped a package in awhile ❤❤
Thank you for your help regarding scrubs and soil and looking to your local gardens centers for it 👋
Too bad you can’t get the sweetheart deal Amazon has with the Post Office. It stinks that the PO only gives the best price to Amazon and they make money on the backs of mail carriers
Are any of your children interested in taking over the business when you retire? 🎃🍁🍂💚🙃
