I think a business can put any kind of restrictions on their product they want. If I decide as a company policy that I'm not going to sell to anyone with blue shoes on, I can reserve that right.
I know this will be controversial but I like the idea that they are asking for documentation.
As a small business, it's hard enough to make any money without letting hobbyists get the same starter plants you get at the same prices. How can you resell the plants and make any money when the hobbyists can just get them from the same wholesaler as you do? Doesn't that kind of just put the greenhouse out of the picture entirely?
This is the other side of the coin speaking.
