  1. RT @stambascio: You're invited! Webinar: Top performing annuals from UGA's trial gardens with Allan Armitage. http://bit.ly/2vJSNw
  2. Check out Today's Garden Center's live coverage of the GCA Holiday Tour Day 3 at http://bit.ly/8NPuv8.
  3. #gcatour Interesting trend in gifts the last couple of stops: some Xmas, but mixed in with other more timeless gift ideas.
  4. #gcatour Initial tour group reaction to seeing Eagle Creek: "Oh, my." In a good way.
  5. #gcatour Cool idea at Breezewood. Cover unsightly structural metal poles with bark. Now they look like trees.
  6. #gcatour Breezewood names every Xmas tree they stock. Customers decide between Eileen or Angel or Bob, etc. I liked Earl.
  7. #gcatour Heinen's grocery is a great example for indy retailers. Doesn't compete on price. Focus on areas like produce where they can excel.
  8. #gcatour Great artificial Xmas tree merchandising idea at Petitti"s. Built an old-fashioned "outdoor" tree lot complete with a fire barrel.
  9. #gcatour Sock monkeys, giant dinosaurs and gingerbread are holiday hits at Petitti's Strongsville location.
  10. #gcatour. Bus idea: Set up a giant wreath in the garden center. People love posing with them. Photo opportunity might rival Santa.
  11. #gcatour M&M only does Xmas. Business cranks up in Aug/Sept and is done in Dec. They move 70 semi loads in between.
  12. #gcatour First stop of the day - Xmas greens supplier M&M Wintergreens. Smells amazing.
  13. @jepolanz Are the lights on?
  14. @stambascio I don't know. I thought the video was kind of soothing. Very Zen.
  15. Six White Lies Garden Centers Tell Customers http://bit.ly/1AFTqg . How do you feel about this?
