| Willoway Nurseries, Inc. continually
sets new standards for our nursery. One way is with
our "Pot 'n Pot" tree program. This technique allows
us to better care for our container tree stock. We
are also able to supply our customers throughout the
summer, when field crops are not available. |

Controlling root girdle
|
Willoway treats all container trees, 7 gallon and
larger, with "spin-out." This treatment dramatically
reduces root girdle, which promotes growth of a strong
root system. The result is an increased survival rate
in the landscape. |
| Colorful picture tags are available for nursery
stock to provide information about the plant, as well
as detailed care instructions, pricing, and UPC coding. |

Point of Purchase displays
|
Several of our product lines are supported by eye
catching posters and flyers to draw attention to your
featured plant displays. |
| We can also provide custom display benches at a
great price. These enable the garden center to create
spectacular displays. |

| Willoway keeps busy even during the winter
months. One of our most popular services
we concentrate on during the off season
is the forcing of plant material for trade
shows and conventions. Willoway converts
an entire loading dock, several acres of
greenhouse, and a cold house to growing
space to accomplish this massive undertaking.
By utilizing compartments of varying temperature
and lighting, we can accurately force a
plant to the exact growth stage needed. |

| Willoway Nurseries, Inc. has
come a long way since being founded in 1954. The present
Avon, OH location started on just 10 acres, and has
grown to cover more than 800 acres. Willoway employs
170 full-time employees, and adds over 300 more seasonal
employees in the spring. |
 |
|
In the last year, Willoway added 30 acres of new
pot 'n pot beds to enable us to grow 80,000 more trees
and shrubs. Pot 'n Pot allows us to produce a more
uniform plant in a shorter growing time. Because there
is no digging involved, we can supply large caliper
trees throughout the planting season. |
| We are continuing to expand our facilities and explore
new ideas to better serve our customers. |
