Right now, particularly the retail trade is undergoing a phase of conversion, of reorganisation, a change of the conditions of the market. Is the penny-pinching mentality culminating in the slogan “scrooge is sexy“ really relevant for garden and botanical enthusiasts? Can advertising campaigns as presently conducted by the furniture industry be thinkable for the “green” trade as well? Would such promotions be of any help and pleasure for garden lovers?
Seeds and plants are natural, living products ; yet botanically equal sorts and species show considerable differences in „quality“, in respect to their growth, size and freshness. Will the offered plants be free of diseases and pests? What about location and methods of cultivation? Is the customer always able to recognise and evaluate these differences in quality? Hence a competent contact person should be available on site, as a bargain always means a certain amount of confidence in the offered goods and thus in the reliability and respectability of the offering company.
Gigantic centres with many thousands of square metres of space for building materials, sanitary equipment, tools and affiliated “garden paradises“ do not necessarily answer the needs of the experienced garden owner. This is more likely achieved by smaller, often owner conducted companies like Samen-Schmitz. This firm provides seeds, plants, bulbs, shrubs, roses, bushes, fruit trees and, last not least, new species in terms of flourishing garden and house plants which are especially suitable to the Bavarian climate. These quality attributes may cost a few more cents than elsewhere, but in exchange they endure and give pleasure.
Everybody likes to keep his plants healthy, so he will cultivate them and may often even establish a certain “relationship”. And similar to human beings, plants can also develop diseases, mainly pest infestations or fungus diseases. True to our guideline „caution rather than chemical overkill“, expert advice will be requested for adequate measures concerning pest management. A wide range of specific phytosanitary and cultivation products as well as fertilisers are the precondition of successful measures for pest control.
Samen-Schmitz has reconstructed the garden centre in Dornach. Professional garden staff will be at your disposal should you need any active support. In our garden centre, all plants are clearly arranged in the roofed outdoor area, in cool or heated greenhouses, thus in each case in the appropriate climate. Our firm offers you whatever you are looking for – a wide choice of first-class quality. Not for nothing, we have chosen the motto: Forever devoted to the garden.
