Smart Gardening: Hydroponics & More

June 27, 2018 Evergreen Enterprises, Inc. 0 Comments

With our Evergreen Garden line, we strive for products that are both decorative and functional. From garden centers to gift shops, our wholesale plant support category for retailers meets that description perfectly, and we continue to work towards solutions that make it more convenient for consumers to not just decorate their garden, but also to maintain their plants.

People are more interested in gardening than ever, largely for health and wellness reasons, both in growing their own food and in keeping more plants around for their mental health benefits. Those who live in apartments or city dwellers in urban areas are looking for ways to help them garden in smaller areas inside their home. And everyone--from the millennial generation to seniors--wants things in life to be simpler and more convenient.

Since the number one need of plants is water, we focus on providing smart and easy watering solutions. Our “H₂0 2 Grow” collection offers a number of new products that make it easier than ever to keep small plants watered. Our glass water globes have glass and metal icons and we also have water globes with terra cotta spikes that work like Ollas pots. You fill the glass vessel with water, attach the terracotta spike, and the water will gradually release into the soil as the plant needs. For applying water yourself, we have watering cans as well as plant misters with metal sprayers, both of which make easy gift purchases for shoppers. Another great gift is our Gardener’s Essentials gift set, with a reusable glass jar, jute twine, floral scissors, and wooden plant labels.

Another rising trend in small planting is hydroponics. Hydroponics is the process of growing plants without soil—either in sand, gravel, or liquid. With hydroponics, the plant is either suspended over a nutrient solution and draws through its roots, or a wick draws the nutrient-rich water up through the media. We offer solutions for both approaches.

Self-watering planters on display

Our new self-watering ceramic planters are made of two separate vessels. The outer pot acts as a reservoir, holding several days of water for the plant. The inner pot holds the plant, and the porous terra cotta allows water to pass through as needed.

Our new wick-watering planters have a net pot and wick material. This method allows an oxygen zone between the media and nutrient solution. We offer these in a variety of styles, including mason jar, cylinder vase, and bubble glass, and a range of price points.

Practical gardening accessories like our plant watering solutions will help stores to be more relevant to shoppers that are looking for pieces like this to help make their home gardening simpler and easier.  Retailers can shop all our attractive and practical garden accents by logging in to our Online Resource Center at http://www.MyEvergreenOnline.com

Introducing Monster Jam Flags & More

June 15, 2018 Evergreen Enterprises, Inc. 0 Comments

From the power of sports organizations like the NFL and the NCAA, to the popularity of Harley-Davidson, we at Evergreen work to bring some of the biggest licensed brands to our customers’ stores. The combination of Evergreen’s strongest products at retail and the exciting reach of these nationally-known brands can generate incredible sales potential for independent retailers. And this summer, we’re excited to welcome Monster Jam as the newest member of our Evergreen licensed brands

Monster Jam is a perfect blend of sports and entertainment, as it mixes motorsports, showmanship, and the ultimate fan experience into one incredible, action-packed live show that’s a blast for all ages. Did you know that Monster Jam has been around for over 25 years? They host over 350 performances each year in 150 markets throughout 15 countries.  These events run year-round with over 90 domestic shows between January and March.  And many of the monster trucks have become household names, like Grave Digger, Max-D, El Toro Loco, and Monster Mutt.

While the trucks themselves are defying gravity, the facts about this brand are defying many people’s assumptions.
•   Monster Jam has 31 million fans across the globe, with 4.5 million attending at least one event each year
•    52% of Monster Jam adult fans have children
•    41% of Monster Jam fans are female (and the drivers of some of the trucks are women)
•    38% of Monster Jam fans are millennials, ages 18 to 34

Our car flag in action

As another example of the popularity and reach that Monster Jam enjoys, the sport was recently highlighted by Megyn Kelly during a segment on the Today Show. She interviewed two of the female drivers and even got behind the wheel of a truck her herself!

With flags being the original Evergreen product, and also one of our best performers, we thought it made perfect sense to start up our Monster Jam selection with flags. From our soft, colorful, double-sided suede printed flags in garden, house, and estate sizes, to our go-anywhere pennants, mini flags, and car flags, we carry plenty of options to help round out your existing flag assortment —or launch a new one. We even have licensed Monster Jam embossed door mats! And we’re already working on additional ideas for the future, in other popular Evergreen product categories.


Monster Jam represents a powerful new opportunity for our retailers to reach new shoppers, both young and old. Shop all the new items when you login to our Online Resource Center at http://www.MyEvergreenOnline.com
