Southwood Landscape and Nursery to kick off spring with hanging basket event

Designers at Southwood Landscape and Nursery in Tulsa, Okla., have enjoyed year after year of success with Proven Winners hanging baskets. This year, they decided to let their customers have some fun too. Southwood is planning a “Plant Your Own Hanging Basket” event in February.

Customers will listen to a quick description of the Proven Winners plants and be able to design and plant their own hanging baskets using all Proven Winners plants. Participants will then leave their baskets at the garden center to grow until spring. The baskets will be kept where customers can see them throughout the growing process. (That means those who planted a basket can come and check on its progress and even water it if they feel the need.)

Southwood employees will watch over and care for the baskets, including replacing any plant that may not survive. Customers can pick up their completed baskets in spring for the same price as buying one off the sales floor. The difference is the baskets are unique to each participant’s exact sun, color and taste needs.

Southwood Landscape and Nursery has been growing and selling Proven Winners plants for many years. In April of this year Southwood is launching the Proven Winners store within a store program.
