Overview — GrowPro® from NIP Group
GrowPro® from NIP Group is a specialized insurance program designed for commercial growers, nurseries, greenhouses, and independent garden centers. As a Managing General Agency, NIP Group places this program with various admitted carriers across most available states, giving agents flexible admitted-market options and tailored coverages for seasonal inventory and crop exposures. GrowPro® is intended to complement LandPro TreePro accounts and provides expanded protections for crop loss, inventory fluctuations, property, and liability exposures common to plant producers and retailers.
Ideal accounts and target classes
Greenhouse growers (seasonal and year-round)
Nursery growers producing field-grown or container stock
Independent garden centers and retail plant operations
You should consider GrowPro® when your client needs coverage that reflects seasonal inventory swings, nursery crop exposures, or specialized causes of loss (for example, frost, freeze, hail, or loss in transit). Typical fits are accounts with clear inventory records, established loss-control practices, and operations that are primarily plant production or retailing rather than large commercial landscaping contractors.
Coverage highlights and advantages
Specialized crop and inventory coverage tailored to seasonal values
Property coverage for greenhouses, cold frames, benches, and stock
Liability solutions suited to retail and production exposures
Ability to structure limits and endorsements for perishables and transit
Access to admitted carriers in most states through NIP Group’s MGA placements
Underwriting notes and minimum premium
Underwriting focuses on the operation’s primary exposures, inventory valuation methods, mitigation controls (irrigation, frost protection, pest control), and loss history. NIP Group can accommodate accounts with seasonal surges by adjusting limits and premiums to match peak inventory values. Minimum premium varies by carrier and state; see individual submissions for program minimums and available endorsements.

Why place this business with NIP Group
NIP Group combines program expertise in horticultural and nursery lines with access to multiple admitted carriers. Agents benefit from underwriters who understand crop seasonality and inventory valuation, plus flexibility to craft endorsements for transit, perishables, and crop loss. Use GrowPro® when you need a market that understands plant production risks and can tailor a package to match peak seasonal exposures.
Example scenarios
You have a medium-sized greenhouse with fluctuating inventory that needs crop and building coverage for a winter-season frost exposure — GrowPro® can be structured to reflect peak inventory values.
You represent an independent garden center that wants package property and liability coverage with transit protection for plant deliveries — the program’s endorsements can address those combined exposures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of growers are eligible for GrowPro®?GrowPro® targets greenhouse growers, nursery growers (field and container), and independent garden centers. Eligibility depends on operations, loss history, and inventory controls — larger landscaping contractors or high-hazard production may be referred to other markets.
How does the program handle seasonal inventory fluctuations?NIP Group can tailor limits and endorsements to reflect peak seasonal values and can place crop/inventory limits that adjust for inventory surges. Provide peak values on submission so underwriters can match coverage to exposure.
Does GrowPro® cover crop loss from weather events?Yes. The program includes crop loss coverages for perils commonly affecting growers (for example freeze, hail, and some weather perils) subject to carrier terms and endorsements. Specific perils and sublimits vary by carrier and state.
What information should I include with a submission?Include detailed inventory schedules, peak inventory values, description of production and retail operations, loss history, mitigation measures (frost protection, irrigation), and any transit or delivery exposures to help expedite underwriting and pricing.
