Spots are still available for the Cultivate'17 Retail Tour, scheduled for Saturday, July 15, before the show kicks off on July 16.
Retailers will visit three central Ohio retailers to find out what they are doing to stay successful and relevant, and uncover best practices for engaging consumers, promoting plants, and growing the bottom line, according to AmericanHort, organizer of the tour and Cultivate trade shows. The tour includes the New Albany location of Oakland Nurseries, Wilson's Garden Center and Fisher's Gardens. Oakland Nursery is No. 8 on Garden Center magazine's 2016 Top 100 Independent Garden Center's List.
