Homeward Bound
Flying home to Cleveland for an extended Memorial Day weekend promised three things: cooler temps (compared to Phoenix), an extra 10 pounds to my midsection AND a tour of some of the midwest’s most colorful garden centers.
And conveniently enough, all four garden centers I visited could be found on one road — Ohio State Route 306 — which makes up the Retail Road Trip at this year’s Cultivate’14 by AmericanHort. I posted a few highlights from my quick tour on the Lawn & Garden Retailer Facebook page. And if you haven’t already, we’d love it if you’d “like” our page to keep you up on great merchandising ideas and more IGC tour photo galleries.
