Search by Zip + Distance

Use this when you want listings near a specific location. Choose a distance radius and enter a valid ZIP code.

• Smaller radius gives tighter local results; larger radius broadens supplier options.
• Selecting "All" distance removes the radius limit and can return broader inventory coverage.
• ZIP + distance is ideal for project-specific delivery or pickup planning.

Search by State + service-area option

Use State search when you want inventory available across an entire state instead of a ZIP radius.

Enable "Show further nurseries that service my area" to include suppliers outside your immediate geography that still deliver into your area.

• Great for hard-to-find plants where local stock is limited.
• Useful when you can accept shipping or longer delivery routes.

Preferred vendors filter

If your account has preferred vendors configured, you can limit results to those suppliers only.

• Turn on Preferred Vendors Only to keep results aligned with your approved network.
• Use preferred zones to narrow results to specific operational regions.
• This helps standardize purchasing and maintain vendor consistency.

Filters after search

After the initial search, PlantANT loads additional filters so you can refine by what matters most for your project.

• Use filters to reduce noise and focus on plants/suppliers that meet your requirements.
• Refining filters updates your result set without restarting the entire workflow.
• On mobile, use Filters and Accept & Close to apply filter changes efficiently.

Plant selection step

The first results panel is plant names. Click a plant entry to load supplier listings, pricing visibility, and related details in the lower section.

• Think of this as a two-step flow: 1) find matching plant, 2) review suppliers carrying it.
• Use this click step before comparing suppliers or requesting availability.
• If no supplier appears, broaden your location settings or filters.

Understanding image search results

Switch to Images to quickly browse visual matches, then open promising items for deeper supplier and inventory review.

• Image mode helps when common names have many look-alike options.
• Return to List mode when you need structured details for comparison and action.
• Tip: run a broad query first, then tighten filters for the final shortlist.
