Read the August 2016 issue online

Garden Center magazine's August 2016 issue is now available online here and as a digital edition. 

In this issue, we examine the future of horticulture as it takes several shapes; including green roof design and implementation, the development of public gardens in unexpected places and the variety of gardening trends in European markets. The evolution of horticultural technology is also explored in an infographic representation of the efforts throughout the years to grow plants in space.

We also covered one retailer's efforts to incorporate natural produce into its offerings, pricing strategies for boosting retail profits, the benefit of plant trials for selecting green goods, the history and future potential of the classic poinsettia, a fresh perspective on fairy gardening from a consumer blogger, our top impressions and highlights from the Cultivate'16 trade show and more.

For some insights into new products that might be right for your business, be sure to take a look at our 2016 Customer Product Guide, and don't forget to catch up on the culture, background and realities of the birding and bird gardening hobbies in our 2016 Birding Report.
