SPEAKERS:

Pat Seibel
Willow Greenhouse
5:00pm in Garden House

Topic:
Oh my ! … Why does Proven Winners keep coming out with new plants? … I can’t keep up
What does a new plant really mean and what can they really do or is this just marketing hype?
Where am I ever going to find my precious Vermillionaire and how do I attract more?
It’s now July, why the sam hill would I plant an annual today?
How can I get that lousy Endless to bloom, mine fizzled out about May?
Does the dessert menu come with plants or why do I get so hungry looking at plant names?
If this guy throws out a top ten list I’ll be rich cause the odds are he’ll go way over that number
Trying to decide, what makes the perfect combo
My wife tells me I can’t put those colors together because they are on the wrong parts of the color wheel
 

Jack Barnwell
