The Early Buy

Once a year, we collect orders from every dealer, buy material once, and run production once. That single run is why the Early Buy price is the best price we offer — and why every dealer pays the same price regardless of order size.

The 2026 schedule

• Now through late October — order forms accepted. The earlier yours is in, the sooner we can place our material order.
• Winter — one production run, built from the combined dealer numbers.
• February–March 2027 — containers ship, ahead of the season. Freight is quoted for your dock after you order; nothing is charged before you approve it.

We keep very little surplus after orders are filled. Anything left is first come, first served, so order what you'll need for the season.

If you grow or sell live aquatic plants — water lilies, lotus, marginals, bog plants — the Early Buy is how the trade stocks up on no-hole containers for the year. Apply for a wholesale account and we'll get you the current order form and pricing, usually within one business day.
