Evergreen: A plant that has leaves in all four seasons, which are always green. These can consist of trees and shrubs. BTN also breaks their evergreens into 3 separate categories: • Broadleaf • Spreading • Upright
Tree: A tree typically has many secondary branches that are supported by a center trunk. Some trees will bear fruit or flowers.
Standard Tree: Refers to a tree that has a single, upright, clear stem before the canopy starts.
Fruit Tree: Fruit trees are grown in a variety of different shapes, but are mainly used to produce fruit. We supply 2 different categories of fruit trees: Combo (contains multiple fruits on 1 tree) and single fruit trees. Fruit trees will require pollination to ensure optimum results.
Shrubs: A shrub is differentiated from a tree by its multiple stems and shorter height. Most shrubs will require pruning to keep their shape and promote new growth.
Vines: Refers to a plant with a growth habit of trailing or climbing. Another word used to refer to a vine is climber.
Hedging: Refers to a row of closely spaced shrubs/trees, planted and trained to provide a barrier or mark a boundry. Watering
Watering Frequency
Category Frequency Time of Day
Roses Every Second Day Anytime but avoid peak sunlight hours 11- 3
Shrubs Every Second Day Anytime but avoid peak sunlight hours 11- 3
Trees Every Third Day Anytime but avoid peak sunlight hours 11- 3 Merchandising Tips & Techniques
▪ Locate BTN's product upon arrival. Our racks and pallets will either be in the garden centre already or outside the locked gates .If necessary, locate a key holder and ask them to unlock the outside gate.
▪ Once the racks and pallets are in the appropriate location, cut shrink wrap and merchandise the product. It is usually a good idea to assess the amount of product there is, and have a plan as to where everything will go. It is necessary to condense the existing product on a regular basis to make room for the new product.
▪ Try not to park racks in the aisles when merchandising. If you have to have the rack in an aisle, try to leave a space for shoppers to pass through, and move the empty rack out of the aisle as soon as it is empty.
▪ Make use of valuable end caps to display product that is in bloom and full of colour -this attracts shoppers from afar.
▪ When possible, use the natural colours of the shrubs to merchandise in a creative "colour striping" effect. Place goldmound spirea's beside purpleleaf sandcherry's for example, to have the most striking colours side by side on the bench. This makes for effective, creative merchandising, therefore increasing sales.
▪ Group the same types of plants together, for example all evergreens together, flowering shrubs together, etc keeping consistency throughout the benches. Refer to your sku list as the shrubs are categorized in this way on it.
▪ For larger merchandise that is too big for the benches, use pallets to create a "tree run". Try to keep the line as straight as possible, with the same technique of keeping all varieties together. Use a sign stand to sign these products. Merchandising Tips & Techniques
▪ Ensure the sign card is easily visible with the retail showing, and the appropriate sign above the corresponding product. The benches will have a slot above the top shelf which holds the sign cards nicely. It may be necessary to shift signs from week to week, as the placement of the product will shift.
▪ Keep the product in a straight line on the benches as much as possible. This creates a crisp, clean effect. Maintain the benches throughout the day, straightening the product, pulling it forward whenever possible.
▪ Use the entire bench to make the space look as full as possible, never leave an empty hole. If inventory is low, spread the product further apart to fill the bench, until the next shipment arrives.
▪ Always maintain a clean working space, putting all plastic and garbage into an empty shopping cart. When leaving, take all garbage to the receiving area or to an area specified by an associate Keep your tool kit close at all times, never leaving your tools (exacto knife, pruning shears) unattended.
▪ Only use the garden centre space that is allocated to us. Our benches and ground space should already be identified early in the season, we need to respect other vendors and their space as well.
▪ Prune our product when necessary, removing kill back and dead leaves. It is essential that our plants and trees look as attractive and healthy to potential customers. Photo’s

Subject to change Signage
• We will have a sign card for every item on our Article List
• Each item will also have an Item Tag – you can get all pertinent information about the item from that tag (ie: UPC, Article #, shade or sun, info about colouring, etc).
Sign Card Example Vendor Responsibilities
Vendor reps will work as a team with the Home Depot associates to drive sales, control markdowns and keep the department "Fresh, Full & Fragrant".
Vendor reps will not operate any gas or electrical powered lift equipment. Hand lift jacks will be available for moving pallets and racks of merchandise within the store.
Customer safety will be our #1 priority!
Vendor reps will merchandise daily shipments as per the planogram agreed upon at the beginning of the season.
Vendor reps will sign the product with the correct and current sign cards. It may be necessary to print a retail sticker from the mobile cart.
Vendor reps, when in stores, will clean plant displays and remove any dead or unattractive leaves, blooms, and pull product if not up to standards. They will separate and record spoilage/damage and submit it to the Dedicated Live Goods Associate, or place in the designated area of the department.
Vendor reps will merchandise, price product and ensure all items have sufficient signage.
Vendor reps will place orders at store level for replenishment.
Watering Frequency
Category Frequency Time of Day
Roses Every Second Day Anytime but avoid peak sunlight hours 11- 3
Shrubs Every Second Day Anytime but avoid peak sunlight hours 11- 3
Trees Every Third Day Anytime but avoid peak sunlight hours 11- 3 RTV Process
An RTV (Return to Vendor) is a procedure that credits Home Depot for our products. This is only done in certain circumstances, and should always be approved by your supervisor first.
An RTV would be done for the following reasons: ▪ Our product is dead or damaged upon arrival ▪ Our product is diseased
We do not issue an RTV due to lack of watering resulting in plants dying over the season. This is very important, as the store may try to get a credit due to this reason. Once an RTV has been created, the plants must be either thrown out in the garbage, or picked up by one of our drivers to be brought back to the farm. Do not leave them in the garden centre as a customer may purchase them by mistake.
RTV Procedure:
▪ Store or merchandiser will contact the sales rep to request a credit ▪ Rep will inspect the product and issue a credit if needed ▪ RTV form to be filled out in full and signed by the rep and store representative ▪ Fax or email the form to Lyndsay at head office ▪ The RTV form will be processed within 24 hours of receiving it and faxed back to the RTV department ▪ Store is to fax or email the p.o number back to Lyndsay once it's processed in their system ▪ File credit It is important that the forms are filled out completely, as we need this information to complete the credit process. We do not give out credits under the Home Depot "One Year Guarantee", this is a loss for the store not the vendor RTV Form
