How do I get the Monrovia photos I would like to use in my garden center's marketing?

Customers may use branded photos of the Monrovia varieties in their current orders. For instant access to high-resolution watermarked images, select the "Photo Gateway" tile in the Marketing Resources section of your Garden Gateway account page: 

Can I download photos from your website? 

No. Please do not download images from our website or from website search results of images. Not all Monrovia images are licensed for distribution so we may not own the rights to share certain images with you. Unauthorized use of copyrighted materials may constitute trademark or copyright infringement, in violation of state or federal laws.

Even accidental use of licensed images is a violation of copyright law. (It also puts the photographers in a difficult position, as they count on licensing to help them earn their living.) Please limit your use of Monrovia photography to the images available through our photo library to avoid legal risk.

What are the other requirements for using images from Monrovia's Photo Gateway?

• All photos are property of Monrovia Nursery Co. By downloading assets you are agreeing to our terms of use.
• Any copyright, logo or watermark in Monrovia images must be retained and may not be removed or cropped out without written authorization
• Monrovia images and copyrighted materials may not be given, sold, or loaned to any other party after download.  Any unauthorized use is prohibited.
• Monrovia images can only be used to promote plants purchased directly from Monrovia Nursery Co.

How do I search for and download images?
Please see our Garden Gateway Photo Library Guide for more help. 

Information about our current sustainability practices is available in three versions to share with customers and staff. You can email or text the digital booklet, print copies of the print-alternative booklet, or print the double-sided trifold. They all contain a broad overview of what we do to grow responsibly in our nurseries. We are currently conducting an in-depth sustainability audit—look for additional measures to be implemented and added to an updated version of these guides soon.

• Digital booklet
• Print alternatives:
  • Paper-saving, condensed-info, and double-sided trifold (best printed on the heavier 28lb office paper to avoid color bleeding)
  • 8-page booklet
