Early bird savings for this summer's GCA Summer Tour end Saturday, May 31. From urban chic to suburban cool, the garden centers featured on this year's tour, June 22-25, are set to give tour-goers key insights and inspiration found in the diverse San Francisco Bay Area market. The three-day event, which takes participants to San Francisco, Sacramento and San Jose, will feature five or more stops each day, from large destination garden centers to small, niche-oriented stores.
The tour is open to all IGC retailers; GCA membership is not required. Early registration is encouraged to reserve a spot on the tour - the buses are filling up fast.
"Certainly, as one of the best garden center markets in America - many times, on the fun and funky side of things - the San Francisco Bay Area is a destination that's been in demand for the GCA Summer Tour for quite some time. GCA's Leadership Council is excited to bring the industry to this Northern California hot spot as a great source for retail inspiration!" says Jeff Morey, GCA's Executive Director.
