New Collaboration Brings Wintergreens Forage Kit to Horticulture Retailers

By Greenhouse Grower staff|June 3, 2026

M&M Wintergreens Inc. and Smithers-Oasis Forage Products have announced a collaboration with the new retail-ready Wintergreens Forage Kit, which aims to revolutionize holiday sales, combining the expertise of both companies to offer a unique and creative solution to horticulture retailers.

The Wintergreens Forage Kit, available for order starting in July 2026 and exclusively through M&M Wintergreens Inc., is designed to easily create a display of products for grab-and-go consumer convenience at independent horticulture retailers. The Wintergreens Forage Kit will come with signage, the uniquely designed retail-ready Oasis Porch Pot Forage Foam, and the retail-ready Oasis Stay Green anti-transpirant solution. The Wintergreens Forage Kit is designed to be displayed alongside the “foraging” materials of M&M Wintergreens Inc.’s fresh greenery porch pot kits. The combination of these products creates a shoppable display for consumers to easily create their own winter and holiday porch pots.

“We are excited to collaborate with Smithers-Oasis in the development of the Wintergreens Forage Kit,” says Shannon Kuhrt, President of M&M Wintergreens Inc. “Most consumers don’t have a forest in their backyard to forage fresh evergreen cuttings, so our fresh evergreen porch pot kits provide the foraging materials to sell alongside the Wintergreens Forage Kit. This combined solution is easy to set-and-sell to the consumers in a grab-and-go format.”

Mike Walburn, Oasis Forage Product Sales Representative, says, “Oasis Forage Products and M&M Wintergreens Inc. have teamed up to bring you this convenient porch pot kit, making it simple to create professional-looking outdoor arrangements that last all season. Oasis Forage Porch Pot Foam helps keep stems secure, hydrated, and beautifully arranged, whether using foraged or fresh materials. Finish your creation with Oasis StayGreen Spritz to keep everything hydrated, fresh, and vibrant.”

With a growing interest in sustainable living and connecting with nature, the Wintergreens Forage Kit is a great addition to holiday inventory to increase impulse sales. The collaboration between M&M Wintergreens and Smithers-Oasis addresses the creation of a winter or holiday porch pot with a base that absorbs and retains moisture and allows for complete design control, along with a spray that slows down the moisture loss of fresh-cut branches.
