BOOKING YOUR ORDER EARLY? Receiving MYP’s catalog in July gives you time to plan your season and book your orders. This booking cycle begins at the end of July for orders shipping weeks 40-20. Give your growing season a successful start by booking your order early and taking advantage of these benefits: EARLY ORDER DISCOUNT (EOD) An early order discount (EOD) lowers the cost of your plants and applies to all orders booked by October 31, 2022. We recommend placing as much of your initial order as early as you can. You can always add product later if you make additions or changes to your program but ordering early ensures that the bulk of your order is confirmed with the EOD pricing . SELECTION AND AVAILABILITY Good availability earlier in the season means it’s more likely you’ll get your entire order confirmed. Our trays are grown to order, and we book orders with the cutting suppliers after receiving them from brokers and customers. Suppliers have a limited number of cuttings, and once they are gone, we cannot get more. ORDER PROTECTION Booking early helps to provide a buffer on your order from unexpected shortages arising during the production season. Cuts are generally made on orders most recently booked before a ship week.

DEER RESISTANT Research demonstrates these varieties to be less desirable to deer.

OUR LIVING CATALOG :

What’s better than this catalog full of pictures of beautiful plants? A living catalog you see, smell, and touch by browsing through aisles and acres of beautiful plants! We call our garden a “living catalog” because we field trial the varieties that we offer in our program. Doing so allows us to see plants’ performance in actual garden conditions, compare genetics across varieties, evaluate new introductions, and appraise the performance of novel combinations. Our trial garden gives you confidence in your selections. Rather than choosing varieties for our program from breeder photo galleries, we carefully select only the varieties that meet our high standards for quality and which we are confident we can grow well for you. We invite you to follow along with garden updates on our website and on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Our 2022 Trial garden report will be published to our website in October. Check back then to see which of these new for 2023 varieties really stood out this summer! We are eager to connect people with plants by welcoming back customers, sales representatives, and breeders this summer. Our garden is open to the public from July through September and is fully staffed during the Michigan Garden Plant Tour from July 25 – August 5, 2022 . We look forward to hosting you this summer! Drop-in visitors are welcome, and for a more personalized experience we encourage visitors to schedule a visit by contacting our office. Make plans to see your 2023 plants in our “living catalog” this summer!
