Diane-
Your explaination makes this sound like
an amicable deal but from what I was told
it was less than so. I'm not sure if Van
has lost some control over his plants or
what the deal is but not everybody in the
deal sounded happy.

<< Actually, the employee was not quite right about the claim that you
can't order W&G plants through Wadegardens.com. I spoke directly with
Van Wade about a month ago, and he mentioned that how this works is
that
Tom, Robin and Ethan Wade are running Wadegardens.com for online
ordering. W&G sells plants directly to them for the online catalog.
Technically it IS NOT the same company, but all the plant materials
come directly from Wade & Gatton.
I know it's a bit confusing, but for Van Wade, it's a much easier and
less expensive way to allow people to shop for W&G plants online
instead
of paying a company to put up an "official" website.

Diane, that was the impression that I got. Apparently one of the kids
has
quite a bit of computer expertise. I thought that it was with Van't
blessing.
But living as close as I do, if I buy something there I need the excuse
to go
there. N.
