In this episode of Growers Gonna Grow, Rayne Gibson and Chris Uhland break down what happens when living plant material is handled like a commodity.
From unrealistic timelines to poor jobsite handling, they dig into where the disconnect between growers and contractors creates unnecessary problems across projects.
Chris shares real-world insight into production timing, harvesting limitations, and why certain plants simply cannot be rushed without consequences. This conversation challenges common assumptions and gives a clearer understanding of how better planning and handling lead to stronger outcomes on every job.

GROWERS GONNA GROW
Growers Gonna Grow is a business-focused conversation about the plant supply side of the green industry.
Hosted by Rayne Gibson, the show bridges the gap between nurseries and landscape contractors by unpacking the planning, timing, systems, and operational realities behind how plants move from field to jobsite.
This is not a plant care show. It is about the business side of plants. Why do availability issues happen? Why does timing matter? Where do install projects go sideways? And what does smarter plant planning looks like in practice?
With decades of experience on the nursery side of production, sales, wholesale sourcing, and operations, Rayne brings an insider’s perspective to conversations that help the industry operate more efficiently and profitably.
If you want a clearer understanding of how plant supply really works, this is the show.
