Featured Plants from Wenke Greenhouses

We know you're used to seeing our newsletter during the busy season with pictures of the plants that are looking good. New this winter season is our newsletter with pictures and information about the featured plants that will be available this coming spring.

Our goal is to provide you with the tools you need to plan a successful spring and to create your own newsletter, seminars and advertising. We plan on sending a newsletter similar to this one twice a month from now through March and then weekly during the season. Consider reserving plants that will be featured in your marketing to get free point-of-purchase posters and to ensure having what your customers will be wanting.

Happy New Year to all,

from Dan, Rex, Lisa and Andy at Wenke Greenhouses!
