School's out for summer? Not for growers.

Our own Chris Cimaglio and Ken Lane just published a new article in Greenhouse Grower, and this one should hit close to home for every horticultural business owner trying to stay ahead of the curve.

The reality is simple: AI is accelerating change, regulations keep shifting, and customer expectations aren't slowing down. The owners who thrive won't be the ones who coast. They'll be the ones who double down on two things: Advocacy and Education.

The “2025 State of Succession and Exit Planning in the Horticulture Industry” survey revealed something telling. When we asked owners where they turn for guidance on critical business issues, the answer wasn't a single source: it was a web of them. Professional networks, trade associations, publications, advisors, and conferences. The best insights come from a connected community.

Here's the part that doesn't get enough attention: your industry associations are investing millions annually to fight for you on immigration, tariffs, climate policy, and labor. You don't need to become a lobbyist, but you do need to show up. Even 15 minutes spent emailing a representative about a policy affecting your workforce or supply chain makes a difference.

Advocacy protects the environment in which your business operates. Education builds the capability it runs on. Together, they keep this industry resilient.

Most importantly, don't forget that you're your own best advocate. Use your voice. Your representatives work for you.

At BEST, we usually focus on winning the race for talent, but Memorial Day Weekend is always special in our hometown of Indianapolis. On Sunday, we are "Back Home Again in Indiana" for the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500 from The Racing Capital of the World. There is a lot of excitement around town, and we have our glasses of milk ready. Gentlemen and Lady, start your engines!

Mother’s Day has passed, but spring is still in full swing, especially with a shorter-than-usual window to Memorial Day. Growers are running flat out. Garden centers are juggling deliveries, staffing, and customers. The days are long, the pace is relentless, and the pressure to perform is real.

But here's what we see too often: owners and leaders pushing through at the expense of their own health and their teams’ health. Burnout doesn't wait for a convenient time to show up. It hits hardest when the stakes are highest.

BEST’s Todd Downing wrote a piece worth your time, especially right now: "Rooted in Wellness: How to Cultivate a Thriving Horticulture Team." It will also be an educational session at the upcoming in Columbus. Todd draws on his many years in the industry and makes a compelling case: wellness isn't a soft perk. It's a strategic necessity. Consider this: the WHO estimates that mental health costs businesses $1 trillion a year in lost productivity. Only 21% of employees feel their employer actually cares about their well-being.

The good news? It doesn't take a massive budget to start. It takes intention. It takes leaders willing to model the behavior. And it takes meeting your people where they are. Take care of yourself and your teams this season. Together you make it happen!

Customer Satisfaction Doubles Your Multiple.

One founder sold her company for $25M. Not by chasing new customers, but by making sure the ones she had couldn’t imagine leaving.

Think about what happens in your business after a customer signs up. Is there a moment where they are left to figure things out on their own? A gap between what they are paying for and what they are actually experiencing? That gap is not just a service problem. It is a value problem.

Growing plants starts with growing people.

If you're leading a greenhouse or nursery operation and wondering why it's getting harder to attract and keep strong growers, this is worth five minutes of your time.

BEST’s Managing Partner, Todd Downing, has his latest article live on Grower magazine's website, and it tackles one of the most pressing challenges in the industry right now.

The reality? 76% of employees say they're more likely to stay with a company that offers continuous training. Yet too many grower operations still treat professional development as an afterthought, or worse, actively discourage their people from expanding their knowledge.

Todd lays out what's working, what's not, and seven practical ways greenhouse companies can build the next generation of grower talent from industry certification programs and supplier partnerships to internal mentorship and job rotation.

If a buyer knocked on your door today, or a health crisis forced your hand, could you produce clean, defensible financial records on short notice? It’s time to “spring clean” your financials.

Only 9% of horticulture business owners say they're prepared to exit today. 63% say an unplanned offer or a health issue would be their most likely trigger.

Chris Cimaglio, Managing Director at BEST PivotPoint, has put together another installment in our Greenhouse Grower series on Succession and Exit Planning, in which he breaks down why the books you keep today determine the business you transition or sell tomorrow, and what "clean financials" should look like once a buyer has them in hand.

Business value is roughly 25–30% tangibles and 70–75% intangibles. The catch: if a buyer can't get past the tangibles, the intangibles never enter the conversation.

Your financials are the root system of your exit plan. If they're tangled, shallow, or neglected, nothing above ground will hold. Spring clean them before "by chance" shows up at your door.
