Does it matter?  Burpee and Wal-Mart vs. who else?  The alternative would be no Garden.com at all, or if there's really a market the void will be filled by someone else.  

 

I know people whose nurseries supplied plants and materials to Garden.com, and who would appreciate any payment of debts owed.  Garden.com's demise left high and dry many vendors and suppliers who had been given big promises and little payment.  Hopefully some of that Burpee/Wal-Mart money will go to all those people.
