A note about sales solicitations:
If you would like for us to consider stocking your product, please email product details to us at bgardens@bellsouth.net. You may also leave a non-returnable sample with your complete contact information and product wholesale price at the front desk during office hours.
We will pass product solicitations on to our volunteer gift shop manager. However, due to her large workload and limited hours, she will contact you ONLY if she is interested in your product. Our gift shop manager is a volunteer and does not keep regular hours. We do not give out her phone number or email address.
We never offer products on consignment.
