Welcome to PlantFind.com. Our mission is to provide the Green Industry with powerful software tools at affordable prices that give every company, small or large, the ability to connect to their business peers. As the third generation of my family in this Industry, I spent the early part of my life working with my Dad in his nursery and landscape business. When I realized that there was no one that offered the industry solid, affordable technology to further a company's business, I started thinking about the power of the Internet. It dawned on me that if we could create a centralized place for all parties to do business WITHOUT charging a commission for each transaction and still keep the cost down so that the smallest to the largest companies could afford it, then one of the biggest industries in the world could become even more unified and profitable.

To accomplish this, I surrounded myself with leaders in the Industry from all the different sides of the business. These people had all accomplished a great deal in their areas of specialty. I knew it would take a group like this to help identify what the real issues were when figuring out how to craft the best technology solution. We combined their industry expertise with our in-house technology experts to build a website designed specifically for the Green Industry. After we launched in January of 2000, we had over 3,000 companies that came and used our site. Each one of them told us how to make it better for you. Since that time, we have successfully built one of the most popular destinations on the Internet for the Green Industry.

I know that it has been very hard for you to find an Internet company that you could trust, with the rise and fall of so many. We took the necessary steps to help you trust us and feel comfortable that we had the types of products and services you could depend on. We aligned ourselves with some of the largest State and National Associations. They looked at our products and services and determined that we could help their members and they were comfortable putting their names behind us.

Besides the proprietary technology tools for buying, selling, sourcing, costing, etc., you can also find daily news updates from the editors of our award-winning partners' magazines, GMPro, NMPro, GCP&S, Garden Center Merchandising & Management, Pacific Coast Nurseryman and Landscape Management. You'll find archived feature articles and current press releases on the site. Listings of key industry trade shows, meetings and events mean that you'll never miss another important industry happening. And, of course, you get complete details about all PlantFind products and services, including interactive demonstrations of online products and advertising. We even have live online customer support.

PlantFind is a company that thrives on customer feedback. It's important for us to know what you like and don't like, so we welcome your comments. We have the ability to make changes very fast because everything is built here in-house. And, if your company needs a certain type of technology built for your specific needs, then I would ask "who better to build it then the technology company that has spent generations in your business?"

Thank you for visiting and for helping to make PlantFind.com a site for everyone in the industry to come together and share business, ideas and products. You may wish to consider making PlantFind.com your Home Page for the most up-to-date, insightful and relevant information on our industry.
