Description of the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

The Top 100 Independent Garden Centers list and accompanying features are a much-anticipated look inside the highest-grossing IGCs in North America. Each year, the Garden Center staff spends months soliciting applications, verifying the information provided by garden centers, reaching out to potential new members of the list and digging into the operations of those that do make the list.

As the only list of its kind, it's a valuable resource for readers looking to see where they stand in the market and gets tips and tricks from IGCs that are leading in revenue. In addition, the Top 100 pullout poster is a great resource for IGC owners who want to take an up-close look at the top-grossing IGCs, as well as their place in the market.
