Turn a National Catalog into a Local Garden Center with Region-Specific Picks
Gardens of the World sells seeds nationwide but wanted shopping online to feel like walking into your local garden center.
At the garden center, shoppers only see plants that actually work where they live. How do you give customers the same “local” experience when your catalog covers the whole country?
That’s exactly what we built online.
Now, when someone lands on the site, they see plants that thrive in their climate right away. Alaska shoppers get cold-hardy picks. Florida visitors see tropical varieties.
Behind the scenes, every product is mapped to growing zones, and the site checks location in real time to highlight the most popular plants in your zone.
No wasted clicks or endless scrolling, just the right plants from the start — like at their neighborhood garden center.
And the best part for marketers: no ongoing maintenance needed.
