This Is It…By pmihalek

What do you have going on this afternoon, say, around 2 p.m. EST?

Well I have the perfect late-lunch activity for you and your staff this afternoon. Why not check out our FREE 30-minute webinar sponsored by Jeremie Miniatures. It’s called “Go Big with Miniature Gardening — A look into one retailer’s success and commitment to this growing category.”

This afternoon’s presenter is Clark Hermanson from Pesche’s Garden Center in Des Plaines, Illinois. Clark will cover what’s trending in miniatures, why display gardens maximize sales and customer interest, how retailers can leverage social media to encourage return visits and why sales per square foot is something you can’t ignore. That last part is my favorite.

And The Winner Is…

The Direct Gardening Association (DGA) recently announced its Green Thumb Award winners for the 10 best new gardening items for 2015. Selected by an independent panel of garden writers and editors, “The winning products were chosen based upon their uniqueness, technological innovation, ability to solve a gardening problem or provide a gardening opportunity, and potential appeal to gardeners,” according to DGA.

C heck out all the plant and tool winners for 2015.

Enthusiastically,

Pete
