Welcome!

Each year, Garden Center magazine takes the pulse of the independent garden center industry through our annual State of the Industry survey. Your participation is vital for accurate and meaningful results. It's time to look at how our industry is shaping up as we prepare for 2026.

We will be asking questions regarding your garden center's operations. Therefore, we are looking for your garden center owner, operator or manager to complete this survey. If you are not the owner, operator or manager of your garden center, please forward this survey along to the appropriate individual.

To show our gratitude and appreciation for your time, you may choose to enter a drawing for a chance to win a free registration to the 2026 Garden Center Conference & Expo (worth $389).

The results of the survey are confidential and may appear in future gardencentermag.com content. If you have any questions, please contact Editor Patrick Alan Coleman at pcoleman@gie.net or call 216-393-0301.
