Recently I was reading our two county bi-monthly newspapers. I try to read often to keep up with local news. Most issues carry reports of various crimes and court actions happening in the surrounding area, which is entertaining lunch reading. Until recently I had not even been aware of letters to the editor, but a half page one caught my eye and I read a dialog of what someone else thought wrong and right should look like. I never talk politics and never feel a need to express my version of Utopia to others. It is not that I am without opinion; rather I keep things in perspective because most contemplation goes on while doing gardening chores. Proper immersion into gardening mellows current events by contrasting with the slow and steady progress of the seasonal progression.
My first reaction after reading the zealous letter, was humor at the conclusion. This heart felt recipe for making everything right (with advice for fixing the wrong) ended with this call to arms: “What Say You?”. It was this call to arms that really stuck with me. To further strengthen this call, my mind wandered to someone I know who has been watching The Lord of the Rings! I guess the warrior spirit has come to life?
The real reason for the title is our desire here at The Growers- Exchange.com to hear from our many customers. In our continuing effort to improve our shipping, we would love to hear how all of those herb plants are growing out there all over the country. We base a good chunk of our business decisions directly from customer response and communication. We honestly do hear you and care about what plants or products you want, what measures we can take to be more efficient for you, and everything else, right down to your best garden advice.
Sitting around brainstorming how best to prepare our customer service reps, we thought it would be helpful to hear what are our customers’ most frequent questions are. So, even though we do have a sense of humor most of the time, right now, The Growers Exchange asks all of you, our customers: What Say You?
