Phillip Watson is Back -- Well, Sort Of...

Caaareful Shopper — Mon, 18 Mar 2019 16:19:36 GMT

Not on QVC, but Phillip Watson just announced (noon today) that he has a new website for selling his own garden items!

He is starting with a variety of tomato plants.

If interested: gardeningwithphillipwatson.com

[I have not included it as a link, but you can enter & paste.]

If you also check out his FB page, he has a couple of videos up as well.

I wonder if QVC demands a cut of his sales.

Well I read somewhere on these forums that QVC gets a cut of sales from other companies when they sell elsewhere -- like Philosophy that is sold at retail stores (or maybe it was Laura Geller cosmetics - I don't remember who exactly). I guess the thinking is that QVC gave all that advertising to that company, so they should share in the sales if the items are sold elsewhere. How many of you would know who Philip Watson was were it not for QVC?

@Puppy Lips . Philip works for himself, not Cottage Farms.

@Puppy Lips Phillip Watson is working for himself, not a company that has a contract with QVC. It doesn't matter that he is more well-known now or not.

I was excited to see a link to Phillip's site, but shipping is a flat rate of $15 per six-pack! Ouch!

@Caaareful Shopper Thanks for the info, I'm going to check in on his site occasionally to see if there are any new items.

Good luck to him.

I've never followed a vendor or host after they left QVC. Not Lisa or Kathy, not Meredith and now not Phillip.

Nothing personal.

I did follow Meredith on FB. When she left here, I stopped.

I'm happy for Phillip. I'll checked out his site and will return in the future to see if he offers any other plants. I agree that the shipping is high but it isn't any different from other plant companies, like White Flower Farms in Ct or Proven Winners, both top notch online plant retailers. I guess that's why ordering from QVC has its advantage.

I was wondering why I wasn't seeing Philip this year, what happened that he was with Cottage Farms and QVC for so many years and gone now? I only bought a few things from CF this year and bought mostly plants from Robertas cause their presentations were so much better with Philip gone from CF.
