Z's Zen Garden | Application Preview
Z's Zen Garden is seeking government grants to enhance its wholesale distribution capabilities and improve its online presence. The funding will help cover the high minimum costs for importing exotic plants, making it more feasible to serve local plant shops. The business aims to create a robust online inventory, allowing both sales and wholesale options.
The couple behind Z's Zen Garden brings a motivated mindset to their venture. With a background in the Army and a commitment to job creation in Tulsa, they aspire to establish a thriving hub for exotic houseplants in Oklahoma. They plan to grow their business by offering competitively priced plants to local stores, thereby enabling these retailers to profit.
While facing competition from various plant shops and online distributors, Z's Zen Garden believes its local distribution model and ambition to cultivate its own exotic plants set it apart. Their vision extends beyond their current market, with aspirations to expand into Texas and surrounding areas, tapping into the growing demand for plants in residential and commercial spaces.
