The health and safety of Hortica customers is our top priority. Hortica, a brand of the Sentry Insurance Group, is dedicated to supporting vital business activities during the COVID-19 pandemic with the high level of support and service expected by our customers.

That’s why we’ve launched a COVID-19 resource center.

This accessible, user-friendly resource hub provides guidance to help businesses continue planning, taking action, and understanding how to move forward during this time of unknowns. It’s designed to help horticulture businesses do their part to stop the spread of the virus and ensure they aren’t caught off guard when their attention is focused on other areas of their business operations.

Our team has instituted a number of measures to help ensure the health and safety of our associates, those we serve, and those they serve. We’re all in this together.”
