O.K., in terms of the nursery industry, there are:
retail nurseries -- e.g., Armstrong and Green Thumb.
distributors and wholesalers -- e.g., Hines nursery in Fallbrook.
seed and plant start suppliers -- e.g., Ball Seeds and Agristarts.
brokers -- buy, sell, import shipping container loads of plants.
For example, Armstrong obtains plants from their own wholesale growing grounds and wholesalers like Hines. Hines obtains plant material via seeds, TC's, and brokers. A broker's expertise is in who all the wholesale buyers and sellers are in their industry, and not in the product itself.
