Find the garden centers to call, while spring is still on paper.
Oxpium builds the list of garden centers in your area, finds who decides at each one, tells you when one of them starts hiring or opens, and runs the campaign.

Every garden center in your area, in one sentence.
Describe the target the way you'd tell a colleague: a region, an independent or a chain store, a nursery that grows its own, a store with a gift shop or a café. The agent searches business listings, job postings and professional databases, reads the websites, removes the duplicates, and hands you a list, not a page of results.

128 garden centers, sorted by number of reviews.
An area
A state, a county or a radius around an address. The agent covers the whole area, from highway garden centers to family nurseries out of town.
Independent or chain
The agent reads each store's website and listing, notes the banner it shows and keeps the family-owned garden centers apart from the chains.
A size
A headcount, a number of reviews, one location or several: to target the large destination garden centers or the small local nurseries.
Departments
Grows on site, gift shop, pet and bird supplies, café, landscaping service, online ordering: the agent keeps only the stores that show it.
Everything you need to reach each garden center.
In a family-owned garden center, the owner decides, often with the nursery or greenhouse manager when it comes to plants. In a chain store, the store manager has a say on local vendors and passes the rest up. The agent finds these people row by row, verifies every email before adding it, and notes what each store offers.

104 contact emails found and verified.
The website email
The agent reads each garden center's website, finds the contact or office email published there and verifies it before adding it.
The owner
The owner of a family garden center or the manager of a chain store, with their email and cell phone when there is one. They sign off.
The nursery manager
To sell plants, the right person is often the nursery or greenhouse manager. The agent looks for them too, by job title, and verifies the email.
Departments and services
Gift shop, pet supplies, growing on site, online ordering, delivery: one column per department, filled in from each store's website.
Automations that run for you, and tell you who to call.
Once the list is built, Oxpium keeps going without you. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list: a garden center hiring for the season, a new store in the area, reviews complaining about the plants, a holiday open house announced. Those are your signals, and they show up on their own.

Seasonal hiring
Every morning, an automation adds the garden centers that just posted a job: holiday staff in the fall, greenhouse crews before spring.
New garden centers
Every Monday, another one compares the listings in your area with last week and adds the garden centers that just showed up.
Plant complaints
Every month, the agent reads the new reviews and flags the stores where customers complain about tired plants or empty benches.
Your own watch
Any watch you can write in one sentence, like a holiday open house announced online: the agent reruns it and tells you what changed.
A campaign that follows the garden calendar.
From March to June, the garden center runs flat out; in the fall, it's mums and pumpkins; in December, the trees and the holiday shop; on weekends, everyone. Spring buying, though, is decided in the fall and over the winter: that's when to call, on a weekday, mid-morning. Email from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, an agent step that tailors every follow-up, and the campaign stops as soon as they reply.
Subject Your perennials for next spring
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
Weekdays, off season
Emails and calls go out Tuesday to Thursday between 9:30 and 11:30 am, once the watering is done and before the afternoon customers.
Calls from the browser
You call straight from your browser. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized right in the list, next to the garden center.
Tailored follow-ups
An agent step reads each garden center's website, reviews or job postings and writes the follow-up from what it finds there.
Stops on reply
As soon as an owner or nursery manager replies, the campaign stops for them. You take it from there, and the next follow-up never goes out.
Frequently asked questions
Write “independent garden centers in Oregon and Washington”. The agent searches business listings and professional databases, removes duplicates, closed stores and chain locations, and hands you the list with each one's rating, number of reviews, phone and website. It takes a few minutes.
Ask for them on top of the owner: “also find the nursery or greenhouse manager”. The agent looks them up by job title in professional databases, verifies the email, and leaves the cell empty when it can't find one. In a small garden center, it's often the owner.
Tell the agent once: “every morning, flag the garden centers on my list that post a job opening”. Holiday staff and tree lot crews show up in October, greenhouse crews and seasonal cashiers between January and March. Each one lands at the top of your list with a “Hiring” badge.
An email to the owner or the nursery manager, a follow-up the agent writes from the reviews or the website, a mid-morning call a week later. Emails go out from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, and everything stops as soon as a garden center replies.
For 250 garden centers with their website read, about 170 emails and sixty cell phones, count around €35 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges €1,000 to €2,000 for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
Mostly between September and February. Many owners walk trade shows in late summer, place early orders in the fall to lock in prices, and finish their plant and hard goods orders over the winter. By March they're busy selling, not buying. A campaign that starts in October or January lands while the decisions are still open.
