Here's an article from this month's Green Profit about choosing the best water garden plants. Water gardening is a trend that's back on the rise and poised for growth. Check out THE RIGHT PLANTS FOR THE POND by Matthew Olson: https://www.greenprofit.com/Article/?articleid=27385

EXCERPT: As consumers seek an escape from the fast-paced world, many are creating backyard retreats. What better way to relax than having a pond filled with plants and wildlife? Whether large or small, with the right plants, these areas provide aesthetic value and support local ecosystems.

It's never a bad time of year to consider your value proposition. Editor Bill Calkins wrote about this for the April issue of Green Profit. Check out BEYOND THE STICKER PRICE: https://www.greenprofit.com/Article/?srch=1&articleID=27349

EXCERPT: We live in a world with 24/7 access to products that will be delivered almost instantly. Although this isn’t necessarily the case with live plants, it’s still the reality most consumers know. “Going shopping” isn’t the end goal when folks visit your store. They want to connect and feel good about where their dollars are spent. They seek knowledge, experience and a personal touch. This is why garden centers and nurseries continue to thrive when other retail establishments shut their doors.

NEW PODCAST! Preemergence W**d Control for Greenhouses & Nurseries with Janna and Steve from Envu

Tech On Demand Podcast Episode 186 includes critical information for both nursery and greenhouse producers! You may or may not know exactly how much time, labor and ultimately money you spend each year managing w**ds in outdoor and indoor production, but chances are it’s a lot. If you don’t have protocols and strategies in place for w**d control, that can lead to even bigger issues.

To discuss this topic, host Bill Calkins is joined by two guests from Envu—Dr. Janna Beckerman and Steve Larson—to talk through best management practices related to w**d control and specifically the use of Marengo, a preemergence herbicide that not only controls more than 90 w**ds (including broadleaf w**ds, grasses and sedge) but also clocks in with residual activity for up to 8 months. It’s labeled for use inside greenhouses and can be a key player in your greenhouse sanitation lineup.

Envu’s Janna and Steve have decades of experience in our industry and bring a lot to the table when it comes to the science behind greenhouse and nursery production, as well as the real-world application of products and strategies. When it comes to w**d control in production settings, Janna said it best—the greatest cost is the cost of neglect.

In this episode, the conversation starts with an overview of Envu’s history and innovative product range before quickly moving into w**d control in nursery and greenhouse production. From regionality and seasonality of w**ds and their impact to application strategies for preemergence herbicides and keys to safe use, there’s a lot to discuss. And with its residual staying power, wide range of w**ds controlled and labeled indoor applications, Marengo (granular and liquid) is a product with benefits for just about every type of greenhouse and nursery operation.

Each year before awarding the coveted Young Grower Award to one of three finalists, GrowerTalks’ editors ask them to respond to a big picture industry question and their responses are published in the June issue of the magazine. We're excited to share this year’s finalists’ thoughts on the question: What are the three most impactful things greenhouse businesses can do over the next couple years to be successful?

Their thoughtful and insightful ideas did not disappoint, that’s for sure. Be sure to read MAKING AN IMPACT when you get a chance to open up your June issue or click the link to view the article digitally: https://www.growertalks.com/Article/?articleid=27410

Some of their thoughts did overlap, which probably means they’re onto something but there are some outside-the-box comments, as well. From leveraging technology and crop diversification to sustainability and mentoring, you’ll be impressed with our three finalists and might just find an idea to implement in your own strategic planning.
