Hi folks, Abby here from Doundrins Distilling!  We are happy to get plant sales going as I have been trying to do this for awhile now, so welcome!  Please read all the general background information below so you know what to expect.  The list is in no particular order.
https://doundrinsdistilling.com/

Applications are now OPEN for our 2022 Monthly "Uncommon/Rare" Plant Markets in Cottage Grove, Wisconsin. Join other vendors from across Wisconsin and share your plants with shoppers. There will be no fee to participate.

A clarification note about the definition of "uncommon/rare"...
Uncommon or rare can be defined based on price point and/or availability regionally.  If only local plant collectors have it and you cannot find it in very many greenhouses or stores locally, even if it isn't a very high priced item, it can be considered uncommon.

Critical notes about our business and about the events for your information:
1) Our business is family friendly and we often have customers that bring their children - please be aware.
2) You will need to be able to take your own payments (we have internet you can log onto).
3) There will be no power supplied to the individual stations.
4) Please make sure you are set up at least 20-30 minutes early.  It gets CRAZY right away and people often show up 20-30 minutes early.

Information about these events:
1 Event dates are below for you to select from.  Indoor versus outdoor events will have different quantities of vendors.  I will be looking to rotate through different growers from month-to-month, if possible, to keep the event diverse.  You will be notified in advance for the date(s) you are selected.  Please do everything you can to make it if you sign up and are selected.  This is something my business is doing a ton of advertising for and we want the events to be successful.  If people that signed up do not show, this will look poorly for the event and for my business. If you are unable to attend last minute, please try to find another grower/vendor that can take your place and let me know.
2 Please make sure you are set up at least 20-30 minutes early.  It gets CRAZY right away and people often show up 20-30 minutes early.
3 This will be held at my business, Doundrins Distilling, at 300 Progress Dr. STE F, Cottage Grove, WI 53527. (GPS here: https://g.page/doundrinsdistilling?share)
4 These events will be marketed as "uncommon/rare" plant sales.  Please primarily plan to bring plants that you consider more "uncommon" or "rare".  I do recommend bringing at least a few small things that are maybe under $50 or $100 as you will always have folks show up not knowing what they are getting into, but it is not required.
5 Labeling: For efficiency of the sale, please try your best to label prices on all items in some way (whether individually or with boxes saying $X for everything in this box, I am indifferent how you accomplish this).  This is a learning from the last events we did.  Also, it helps to label what the actual plant name is but this is not required.  We get slammed and then everyone has pricing and plant ID questions.  You will definitely sell more if you put in the time to label pricing and ID on each plant/cutting/item ahead.
6 No plants/cuttings with known pests in the last 30 days allowed
7 You have to have your own tool/way to take payment - whatever you prefer is fine - that could be cash, credit through something like square, venmo, or otherwise.  Please note, we have high speed wifi you can use while you are there.  I recommend using something digital for payment, but we do have an ATM if you choose to use cash and patrons need to withdraw something.  If you plan to take cash, I recommend bringing change.  If you plan to offer venmo, I recommend printing out a sheet with your account name & QR code.
8 It is free to participate for vendors, you just have to help hype it up and advertise on social media/with your friends!
9 Plants only - no accessories will be at the "rare" plant events.
10 Indoor events: You will be able to have up to 2 folding tables of floor space (or a vertical standing shelf).  You must provide those tables/shelves.  We have chairs you can use for indoor events.
11 Outdoor events:  You will need to bring your own set up including chairs, tent, table, any other equipment you may need.  We do not have very many shade structures, so please plan to bring your own shade structure if you need/want one.  I highly recommend a tent/shade structure for summer events as it is EXTREMELY sunny outside. We also do not have a ton of chairs, so I recommend bringing a folding chair for you to use.  Each vendor for outdoor events will be given up to 2 - 10'x10' spots depending on how many vendors sign up.  (This is the standard size of portable pop-up tents.)  You can share that space with multiple people if you want.  This is up to you to decide and arrange.  I am guessing sharing won't be needed for these rare events because there will be fewer interested vendors but TBD.
12 I have several hundred gallons of RO water that I will give out to vendors to use for their set ups as needed.
