The June 2017 issue of Garden Center magazine is available and can be read online or as a digital edition.
In this issue, we share the story of family-owned Chalet Landscape, Nursery and Garden Center, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Three-generations reflect on their time as part of the family-owned business and share their plans for the future.
Also in the issue, the USDA is working with breeders to move forward after the discovery of genetically engineered petunias, and we provide an update on the situation. Teaching customers and staff about soil health can be easy with these tips. Additionally, some independent garden centers are seeing a renewed interest and consistent selling patterns when it comes to fountain sales.
Leslie Halleck explains how including customers in innovation and marketing can improve experiences at your garden center, and Jean Seawright shares 13 tips for I-9 compliance. Rob Sproule also shows how Facebook is the perfect fit for garden centers.
