-
Why should I use Foliage Direct's services?
-
Switching to ordering direct from purchasing locally can be a daunting tast. Questions will arise such as, what growers offer the best product at the best prices? How do I get in contact with them? Who can I get to ship my orders to my location? How do I begin the search? We constantly monitor the availabilities from all major foliage growers so we know where to go for cream of the crop products. Our volume allows us many discounted rates so in most cases you are paying no more for our services than if you were to call each grower individually.
