Harry & David Holdings: In April, this multichannel marketer agreed to sell its Jackson & Perkins catalog/
wholesale plants and gardening tools business to an investment group led by Donald and Glenda Hachenberger for $49 million. In a separate deal, Harry & David also agreed to sell 3,200 acres of land in Wasca, Calif., as well as some buildings and equipment — all related to the Jackson & Perkins business. The deals are expected to close by the end of June. The divestitures should result in a modest gain for Harry & David’s fiscal year ending June 30.
