Ball Ornamentals announces Cottage Hill Nursery as its new Southeastern rooting station supplier. Located in coastal Alabama, Cottage Hill joins Ball Ornamentals’ existing supplier network which includes Ball Tagawa Growers, Tidal Creek Growers, Obra Verde Nursery, Van Belle Nursery and Hochberg Ornamentals.
Since 1947, Cottage Hill has been producing liners, finished landscape material, tropical, annuals and perennials. Its facilities ship over 125,000 packages a week during the spring.
“Quality and customer service are our hallmarks. We produce the finest liners for Ball customers using the same exacting standards we set for our own in-house use,” says Dave Pruitt, sales manager for Cottage Hill.
“We are thrilled to have Cottage Hill as our Southeastern supplier. Their liners start fast and finish strong – they’re really a ‘grower’s grower,’” says Pete Kruger, general manager for Ball Ornamentals.
