Growquest.Net is a project the has been in the evolution for a long time. This store replaces the previous .Net store that ran through July of 2011. That store had been built in 2006 for the booming landscape construction industry.
Ownership of Growquest.com and Growquest.net are gardening supply web sites is solely that of Christopher Morgan Gilcrest. Please visit my YouTube Channel to get to know me and many of the plants or gardening practices better. Horticulture is the only work I have done since I was in 11th grade and before that it was home construction. I have done nearly everything in the landscape and gardening trade. I am very happy to provide live on site consultation via GoToMeeting.com via your I-Phone, Android phone, I-Pad or lap top computer. Together you and I can walk through your garden or landscape and figure out the issues and solutions anywhere you want.
Growquest.Net is a web site that I have remodeled to deal with roses, perennials, annuals, vegetables & fruit trees and many other plants. Currently the Growquest.NEt site features roses, including hundreds of hard to find Jackson & Perkins roses and the latest rose selections from David Austin Roses - check out all the new OWNROOT roses from DAR and other growers
Sales Specials. You will find very good plant sale specials, often with substantial discounts lasting from 1 day to 1 week on FaceBook and Twitter, I don't bother usually posting the specials to this web site since it is built on ancient technology (starting in 1998 LOL when some stores actually sold rolodex to keep track of web sites!) that is why I am shifting all of the rose orders to Growquest.Net.
Door to Door Deliveries. Growquest does most of our own deliveries in California, Nevada and this year I am adding Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Idaho, Colorado and Texas. When we are going to be certain location good to very good sales specials are posted to Facebook and Twitter. Additional metro regions or States will be posted in the shipping sections of both web sites as the 2012 gardening season progresses.
Growquest also of course ships a large amount through USPS, FedEx & UPS depending upon the product, location and customer desires. Hot special deals may be different on FaceBook and Twitter so keep an eye on both, feel free to ASK for your deal on larger orders. You are free to combine them with your order.
Locations. A new growing location is being developed in Fillmore-Piru, which is in eastern Ventura County, Ca. Additional shipping locations are in use in Bakersfield, Ca and Morgan Hill, Ca. A shipping and receiving (local or region will call pickup are fine too) location will be in San Antonio, Texas in February 2012 to handle Texas roses, citrus, avocado trees and other plants.
Customer Service: Quite honestly I would say that Growquest has had the worst, well yes know there actually other online nurseries with worse, but I think I am strong contender 2nd or 3rd. I have in the past been embroiled in family turmoil that roars like tsunami into my ability to work and left me deeply depressed. Really who actually finds custody fights and family court not depressing and ruining their work week or month? My kids have matured at this point even their parents have not.
With expanded door to door delivery service, a very sophisticated virtual PBX phone system (I always had a single line in the past where 99% of the calls when to voicemail), instant online Live Chat, interactive FaceBook ( /growquest) and Twitter ( @growquest accounts, I and anyone helping me will be able to help you nearly instantly 8am Eastern to 10pm Pacific time daily.
Refunds Due: As a result of what seemed a never ending cycle of family chaos that severely disrupted my physical, mental or monetary ability to effectively operate Growquest there are orders pending for shipment, reshipment or refund in full. If for any reason you think that your order is one of those and have not been given an update on that order status or need to bring an order to my attention please email;
office at growquest.com with your full name, payment method and order number. I will using my winter ladybug harvest money to deal with those orders that are delinquent and apologize for all the trouble that these personal issues have given you. Chris Gilcrest
Commentary Since the leadership of our great Country, and that is left, center and right has not decided to make any substantive changes to let businesses grow, jobs to rapidly increase and the housing disaster be cleaned up, I have replaced that old Growquest .Net site with the content of this store.
The American citizen and the Country they live in are among the most unique thinking, hard working, creative and skilled people the World has known. Full of faith to the Almighty, love of Country and proud of Ol' Glory. - You Candian's are also farily cool too - Most of us bleed three colors of blood, red, white and blue and will give our elected leaders a chance to get it right.
But too many chances have been given and too much of our national wealth and character squandered and what ever clown is elected, at least in the short term we need to dig in, hold fast and prepare for a long bumpy fight to regain our National self respect and our individual prosperity.
I still have large and very large to giant specimen shrubs and trees for sale, but the public is looking for impact plants that provide disease free growth, rich colors and contrast, strong growing habits and unique character. Gardeners and landscapers, whether they are home owners, renters or green industry professionals want get those new looks and seperate their garden or landscape from those of the area.
In this "new" economy this often requires smaller sizes container sizes and extremely competitive prices that allow for a lot getting down on smaller budgets.
The Growquest.Net does that and so much more.
Growquest Growers will be providing deliveries this season in most areas of the USA and Canada by our own drivers, to reduce packing and shipping costs. This allows you to get our mature plants for a far better deal than the tiny starts that most web based nurseries need to send out.
We have refrigerated truck service this year to most points in the USA and local delivery service from there to your home or business. Plants can be pulled regionally or from select growers in more distant locations.
Please email over your plant list for competitive bid, if we cannot help you we will point you to a grower(s) that will.
