Just One Minute
Did you ever watch “Minute to Win It?” This game show, hosted by restaurateur-turned-TV personality Guy Fieri, gave contestants a blueprint for completing a task in one minute using household items. Complete all 10 tasks, and you walked away with $1 million.
This is the premise for the Minute to Win It – Retail Challenge at Cultivate’15, and we want YOU. Instead of household items, we’re using those in the garden center. And instead of $1 million, contestants compete for gift cards and other swag.
Will you be in Columbus in just four short weeks? AmericanHort and L&GR are looking for garden center folks to participate. Send me an email at [email protected].
Final Call (for Real)
I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but this really is your last opportunity to become Lawn & Garden Retailer’s Merchandiser of the Year. Entries are due Monday.
The winner receives some great sales-generating prizes, valued at more than $3,000, from Braun Horticulture and Dramm.

Lasting Impression
I want to share this viral video of a 2-year-old saying goodbye to “his best friend” O’Dee, the garbage man. It got me thinking about how big of an impact you can have on the people that come into the garden center every day, or just walk into your life. If that seems like a stretch, hopefully it’ll just make you smile.
Cheers,
