There seems to be some confusion here....A not-for-profit and/or tax-exempt
organization can sell products. Look at the Girl Scouts and those pricey
cookies!

Non profits just have to account for all the money at the end of the year
and spend it upon their non-profit activity.

I am an AOS member and not a vendor. I haven't seen the plants they are
selling so I can't speak for the value for the price. There are enough of
us out there buying plants that I doubt the AOS is serious competition for
anyone except their nearest neighbors.

If they are able to sell some plants and keep the costs down for the entire
organization I think this is a good thing. If I were in Florida I would
check out their plants as well as other vendors in the area.

Good Growing,
