Under The Sun, a US based gardening shop, is set to be the first garden centre store in the US to franchise. Founded in 1992 as Tulsa Flowers and changing its name to Under The Sun in 1999, the company focuses on selling annuals, perennials, herbs and hanging baskets.

"We are thrilled to be the only Garden Centre franchise," says Craig Bay, owner of Under The Sun. "We are looking forward to sharing our unique brand, quality products and exceptional customer service in the gardening industry with other cities throughout the United States."
