Capabilities

Tools 2

price_plant_list

Price a whole plant list or planting schedule from wholesale growers' live stock lists: each line matched to a grower, size and trade price, with the growers near the job preferred. Returns the priced lines and a link to the priced list on HortOS, which the person opens, checks and sends themselves. This tool does not place an order.

Discovered
search_plants

Search Australia's live wholesale plant market: which wholesale growers list a plant, in which pot sizes, and from what trade price (AUD, ex GST). Use it for "who grows X" or "what does X cost wholesale". Botanical or common names both work.
