Introduction to H&P Sales Inc
Our Story
Maureen Olson acquired the Vista facility in 1982 and moved to California in order to expand her business. From 1982 to 1990 H&P devoted its energies to growing and distributing live plants. In 1990 we made the decision to add silk plants to the company’s product line.
H&P’s first silk item was a vase of tulips designed and sold to Lucky Stores. That led to successful programs with Sam’s, Wal-Mart, and eventually a host of retailers trying to capitalize on this new found craft industry.
While live plants continued to be an important part of suburban growth and home decor, the emerging generation wanted something easier to care for.
Recognizing a growing trend, the company started expanding their silk plant assortments from green ivy and hanging baskets to include trees and floor plants.
