In Case You Missed ItBy Abby (Kleckler) McGarry

“If you build it, they will come, but you don’t want them to drown in the rain or dry in the drought.” This was one piece of advice from Mary Palmer Dargan, landscape architect and owner of Dovecote Porch & Garden in North Carolina, during Tuesday’s webinar on “Maximizing Miniature Gardening.”

Miniature gardens truly are gardens, and it’s important to maintain sound horticulture along with storytelling and design.

Checkout Changes

October is next week already, and this month has no doubt been a looming deadline in your minds for quite some time. Whether your store is ready or not, EMV Compliance is on the horizon.

I came across this quick resource on “How to Train Your Staff on EMV.” I found it helpful in answering some people’s inevitable questions like one I had recently: “Why can’t I still swipe the magnetic strip if the option is there?”

Calling Growing-Retailers

Don’t forget to sign up for GPN’s Plant Health Management Conferences. The conferences are positioned to educate growers and greenhouse production personnel about the latest disease identification, integrated pest management and plant growth strategies.

Choose from Oct. 6 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, or Oct. 27 in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Pesticide recertification credits will be offered at both locations.

Cheers,

Abby
