National Garden Bureau had two informative hour-long webinars that were completely free to attend.

Spring Meadows Nursery shared with us their shrubs of the year. Spring Meadow launched the Landscape Plant of the Year program in 2016 to highlight a Proven Winners ColorChoice variety of particular interest to the landscape market. It proved so popular that we were asked by the Proven Winners Retail Advisory Board to expand it to garden centers and consumers. Check out the best of 2024 today!
JRM Chemicals introduced us to SoilMoist which is safe, non-toxic, and used in both horticultural and agricultural applications. SoilMoist are water-storing granules that absorb water, then release the water to the soil when needed and can reduce irrigation frequency by 50% and last 3-5 years in the soil.
Power Planter® introduced us to tools that will make our Spring planting so much easier. They are a third-generation family-owned auger manufacturer that started three decades ago in rural Illinois and is still located there today. Power Planter has evolved over the past 20 years from the invention and patent of our original Power Planter auger to offer a variety of different sizes, models, and even auger accessories today. They strive every day to adhere to the same level of craftsmanship and work ethic the company was first founded on more than 20 years ago.

I hope these products help you finish getting ready this Spring. I thought I was all set, but there are several items catching my eye. I have bulbs in the ground and have started getting my raised-beds ready for the warmer weather. I am enjoying hearing the patter of rain on the windows knowing that it is getting the soil all moist for Spring planting. I hope you are staying dry and getting ready for sunny days to come.
