BONNIE PLANTS While this husband and wife team have been providing plants for N40 since last year, they are 15 year veteran, Bonnie certified suppliers. Michelle and her husband supply our N40 locations in Spokane, Mead, Colville, CDA, Ponderay, Great Falls, and Omak. “Our plants are grown hardy and acclimated to our environment. We grow them pretty cold,” she tells me, laughing. Shipment time to stores is very short because they are based in Plains, MT. Their salesmen go to the stores 2-3 times a week to check quality of plants on sale, so when you buy Bonnie plants from these stores—you can be sure they will perform great in your garden. Want to know their specialty? Tomatoes. “We always have rave reviews about the quality and uptake of our hardy tomatoes.” They also grow strawberries, peaches, asparagus, potatoes, peppers and many other herbs and plants.
