Independent Garden Centers participating in the E-Commerce Connect Program are seeing e-commerce results far beyond original expectations. What was once projected to represent just 1–3% of total sales is now reaching as high as 13% for some participating retailers and growers. These early numbers signal more than growth — they point to a major shift in how consumers are buying plants and how the green industry is evolving through localized e-commerce and dropshipping.

Garden centers are staying active on social media during peak spring season by using E-Commerce Connect’s ready-made Canva templates—saving time, posting consistently, and promoting their online stores without slowing down operations.
