Recognizing that landscape architects and designers are constantly looking for exciting new plants, colors and textures, Village Nurseries, a specialty wholesale grower for landscape professionals, announced they have signed a licensing agreement with PlantHaven Inc. to grow unique plant offerings from selected worldwide breeders. The agreement covers the American Southwest market.

PlantHaven doesn’t breed, grow plants or have any financial interest in any breeding program or nursery. Instead, they successfully match appropriate growers and plants with various climate zones to promote the best growing environment for each cultivar. The company manages approximately 200 nursery licenses in the United States.

“We are one of an exclusive group of wholesale nurseries with whom PlantHaven has signed a licensing agreement to grow and market select varieties,” stated David House, Village Nurseries CEO. “We’re excited to add them to our roster of partnerships with outstanding plant breeders such as Monrovia, Tesselaar Plants and Lacebark Horticulture Research.

“We’ve identified Village Nurseries as the ‘go-to’ wholesale nursery for landscape architects and designers,” said Geoff Needham, president and co-founder of PlantHaven. “By providing greater diversity and choices of superior plants to replace tired old standbys, their landscape professional customers can more easily differentiate their work from everyday sameness of their competitors.

Because it takes time for plants to grow to a size suitable for landscaping, most of the PlantHaven varieties Village Nurseries is growing won’t be available until 2012. However, a few select plants will be available in Q3, 2011.
