Just as an FYI, I saw this today when searching for a seller on the Garden Watchdog site.
As of February 2012, we have been advised by readers that Van Bourgondien is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Is this the same company that has dutchbulbs.com? Odd since I got several catalogs earlier this year (I threw them all out).

Tis the same. Sad when a company with that longevity hits the skids.
It’s okay to not know all the answers.

I have bought from them for several years in a row and I have always been pleased with my purchases. I hate to hear this. I hope that they can reorganize and stay in business. It is a sign of our tough times.

With the economy continueing to go into the ditch with each passing I would not be surprised if more companies go out of business, as people need to think of roof over head, food in the belly, and clothes on your back FIRST

I think it is going to be the companies with iffy reputations like VB that need to worry most. I really hate to see them go under myself as I have bought lots of lilies there thru the years.

It depends which bankruptcy they filed..Chapter 11 or 13..One excuses their all their debt and one allows them to reorganize, and pay off their debt gradually. Can't remember which is which anymore. Been out of banking too long and don't keep up with it now that I'm retired.
