The National Garden Bureau is again hitting the road for California Spring Trials (CAST) with influential garden communicators, with the goal of connecting breeders and brokers with consumers via these influencers with large followings.
Promotional materials for the National Garden Bureau’s four “Year of the” crops for 2018 are now available. The materials are designed to help growers and garden retailers encourage consumers to discover and embrace new, exciting crops each year.
The three winners were selected after a two-week online voting process, and will receive grants totaling $5,000.
Online voting is now open for the Therapeutic Garden Grant Program, which will split $5,000 in grant money among three therapeutic gardens.
Plant classes recognized include bulb crops (tulip), annuals (calibrachoa), vegetables/edibles (beet), and perennials (coreopsis).
Registration is now open for one of the summer’s most popular events for anyone wishing to connect and network with the home gardening industry.
The new site is designed to serve as a home base to drive traffic from NGB’s social media community to one central location.
Marketing resources such as fact sheets, bench cards, and videos are available on the NGB website.
The NGB’s annual grant program, Growing for Futures, recently selected three therapeutic gardens that will receive grants totaling $5,000.
