The October 2016 issue of Garden Center magazine is now available as a web version and as a digital edition.
In this issue, we explore several cutting-edge programs and services that allow IGCs to directly reach out to their markets, help their customers find the products they need more easily and more.
We also discuss local approaches to drought tolerant and native plants, helpful insects that could assist your customers in the garden, using plant trials to make better inventory decisions, taking advantage of the succulent trend with unique container offerings, making sure green goods are not deprived of calcium and more.
Human resources consultant Jean Seawright also explains how new Department of Labor standards may necessitate an increase to employee wages.
In this month's infographic section, we illustrate recent pollinator population losses across the country.
