Over the years I’ve worked with many of the plant brokers in this country. Tim & Sarah at BlueWater Horticulture demonstrate a very high level of professionalism with me as a freight broker and all of the customers we service. They have very high standards while at the same time being very fair to carriers, customers and farms. I highly recommend BlueWater Horticulture for your plant needs.

I have been working with Bluewater Horticulture for the past 6 years. It is obvious how passionate Tim is about trees and shrubs! I love that he visits all the nurseries he reps and has firsthand knowledge about the material he sells. Tim always lets you know about new material and points out something he thinks you might like for your garden center. You can always expect high quality trees and shrubs when they arrive !
Working with Tim and Sarah is easy they are always there to help you find a product and answer your questions. Their communication is great and they will not let you forget a deadline!
You are missing out if you are not working with Bluewater Horticulture!
