Monrovia has launched its 2026 holiday plant packaging program, featuring berry and tartan plaid designs for retail displays. The company is offering complimentary wrapping for specific plant sizes to help local retailers create gift-ready options for holiday shoppers.
Why it matters
The program helps local garden centers streamline holiday inventory by offering festive, grab-and-go plant gifts. By providing pre-wrapped options, retailers can enhance their seasonal displays and reduce the time spent on custom packaging during the busy holiday period.
The holiday wrap program applies to plants in #1, #2, and #5 container sizes, which are eligible for complimentary festive packaging. Additionally, winners of the upcoming holiday decorating contest will receive 20 beanies as a prize.
