Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Pumpkin Trees And The No-Man's Land of Autumn In The Garden Center. Seeing an empty garden center this time of year kind of gives me the same feeling. Is there anything sadder than empty benches in a garden center? If your store depresses me, I'm probably not going to be stopping by. So what do you do this time of year?

Monday, August 22, 2011. The Ideas Lowe’s Is Stealing From Independent Garden Centers.

Now, here’s another thing Gfeller said: “Customers have learned to wait on the next big de...How about...

Sara's Green Space: Rethinking Store Receipts
http://sarasgreenspace.blogspot.com/2011/07/rethinking-store-receipts.html
Wednesday, July 6, 2011. The concept cars at the auto show are both cool and a drag. They show all kinds of awesome features that you can't. Get in your car. While it seems counterintuitive to show off these extras, they show the forward thinking nature of auto companies and I'm sure they get design engineers thinking about how they can practically incorporate things like automatic parallel parking. So keep that thought in mind when I show you this - a fun store receipt designed by the British firm Berg.

Sara's Green Space: Are You Willing To Try Something Crazy To Stay In Business?
http://sarasgreenspace.blogspot.com/2011/07/are-you-willing-to-try-something-crazy.html
Friday, July 22, 2011. Are You Willing To Try Something Crazy To Stay In Business? The OFA Grower Town Hall - it is a great time to get together and talk about all the revolutionary things we can do to change the industry. But are these changes being made? It seemed to me that some people in the room this year want to try new things, and some people want to keep on selling the same old products and using tired marketing. Indoor plants, patio plants and balcony boxes and plants. For these types of products.
