A FRESH NEW LOOK FOR HANDPICKED FOR YOU®!
By Danny Gouge, Willoway Nurseries, Inc.
Handpicked For You® is well-known for bringing quality, attention-grabbing plants to the eyes of consumers. The goal is to showcase regionally tested and certified plants that will allow consumers to plant with confidence. To match the enthusiasm Handpicked For You® has for these outstanding plants, a fresh, new look was recently unveiled. Handpicked For You® revealed a brand-new logo that features a trustworthy shield, a bright eye-catching color scheme, and the slogan of “Certified to Thrive.” This redesign provides an eye-catching look to the trademark, but still portrays the new, innovative look that can be seen in the plants featured within the program. With the help of its five charter growers, breeders, and retail partners, Handpicked For You® and Syn-RG™ strives toward the goal of working together to accomplish more than could be done individually.
A trusted favorite, locally tested, and certified to thrive so you can plant with confidence.
Plants certified with the Handpicked for You® trust mark are regionally tested and independently verified, through a rigorous review process, to be consistent top performers from a wide range of breeders, growers, and you!
