Why Rack Your Plants with Lucy Diaz

In this episode of Growers Gonna Grow, Rayne Gibson sits down with Lucy Diaz, to explore one of the most overlooked parts of the green industry supply chain. While growers, contractors, and garden centers focus on sourcing, selling, and installing plants, an entire logistics network is working behind the scenes to move plant material safely and efficiently across the country. Lucy shares insight into the role racks play in plant transportation, the challenges of reverse logistics, and why asset management has become a critical part of modern nursery operations. The conversation also explores how transportation impacts costs, where breakdowns occur in the system, and what the future of plant logistics may look like. If you've ever received a shipment of plants and wondered what happens before and after that truck arrives, this episode pulls back the curtain on the infrastructure that keeps the green industry moving.
