ORANGE, Calif.– Village Nurseries, a specialty wholesale grower for landscape professionals, today announced they are now offering the new Sunset Western Garden Collection™ to California gardening enthusiasts through Orchard Supply Hardware’s statewide 89-store chain.
The first live plant collection to focus exclusively on top performing plants for the western United States, the 29-plant Sunset Western Garden Collection is licensed to Plant Development Services from Sunset Publishing Corporation, long heralded as the expert authority on Western gardening. This spring, Sunset released the 9th edition of its Western Garden book, considered since 1967 the bible of gardening books for the Western United States.
“This unique line of high quality plants designed specifically for western landscapes reflects our commitment to help landscape architects, designers and property owners incorporate new and superior plants in their plans,” said David House, Village Nurseries CEO. “As one of Plant Development Services’ largest licensees in the western United States, the release of the Sunset Western Garden Collection represents an exceptional opportunity to maintain the momentum generated from our recent Encore Azalea agreement.”
