This collaboration was a seamless transition for both K Fish Color and Michigan West Shore Nursery. After years of working together it just made sense. Michigan West Shore provides critical operational support such as a strong network of professional growers, technology in software, and the coordination of logistics. This allows Kathy to focus on crucial aspects of customer service which requires a very specialized and unique skill set. Selecting Top Picks each year, creating speculation orders, refining orders into shipments, tracking inventory are all skills that Kathy has developed with over 30 years of experience in the landscape industry.
Tried and true picks with the perspective of timelines and pre-booking. Our selections are from top seed producers and grown by the best greenhouse growers in the area.
We offer online and spec ordering. We have the ability to make changes and substitutions as needed to keep the timeline running smoothly for you.
We do our own greenhouse walks to ensure product specifications are noted. We work with seed distributors and growers to ensure our product is of the highest quality.
We ensure timely deliveries with direct transportation to job sites. To aid in the installation process our trucks are loaded with liftgate trailers and rolling racks.
I would recommend working with the Michigan West Shore Landscape Division for all your annual color needs. Kathy Fish, the Division Manager is a great asset to work with. Along with all of their material being of the highest quality, Kathy is prompt to answer questions, return confirmations, and is the most professional vendor I have ever worked with. You could never go wrong putting your order in her hands!
Kathy Fish and Michigan West Shore grow and deliver beautiful, quality product season after season. Kathy takes the guesswork out of the growing process and helps to build a successful, sustainable seasonal color program. We chose to align ourselves with vendors and industry professionals with shared values, who strive to be the best at what they do and work to maintain successful relationships.
Kathy Fish always goes above and beyond to try to get me what I'm looking for, no matter how unique it is. And she is always very quick to do it in the most efficient way.
Kathy is wonderful at responding promptly with any questions you may have about any product she sells. I especially enjoy her selection of pansies, and the pansy baskets in spring are a welcome sight for winter-weary eyes.
For the better part of a decade, Landscape Concepts Management has been collaborating with Michigan West Shore to provide the highest quality Seasonal Color flower rotations throughout the Chicagoland area. As our downtown Chicago Branch presence grew, so did our clients expectations. To meet the high demands of the urban environment, we had to install the very best material from a floral perspective. Kathy Fish was instrumental in our early days to help strategize the best and most efficient approach for managing annual rotations. Her continued guidance, coupled with Jenn Washo's direct support, gives us the confidence that we are in this together and we are proud to partner with MWS.
