Happy Thursday! Super short—but sweet! I’m behind on Green Profit and the other trades, a little. If you’ve ever curious as to where the news comes from, go to EarToTheGroundPro.com and scroll down to “My Favorite News Sites” in the middle column.
- Via Greenhouse Product News (and Walt Nelson): Educators Planning Trip to 2013 California Spring Trials.
- Three Outdoor Furniture Trends To Know from Today’s Garden Center. And they are: sustainable materials for furniture, fire pits set into dining-height tables (and other things) and items (especially space-saving) that create shade.
- From the Democrat and Chronicle, a guest essay by Rochester’s Project Scion founders Bruce Zaretsky, Sharon Coates & Pietro Furgiuele, who are disappointed by lack of police enthusiasm for their project and for its neighborhood in general, and some suggestions.
- This is such a cool necklace. But I can’t figure out for the life of me how or where to buy it. From fab.com.
- In case you missed the dedicated e-blast: With my partner-in-travel Marjorie Case, I’m planning another trip to the Chelsea Flower Show (& More!), May ’13. It’s such fun, and very educational. I realize it’s a really bad time for most industry folks, but it really is an amazing, worthwhile experience.
- Warning: Death by cuteness may follow. Cute! Mini succulent planters. Teeny tiny!
- New York makes its hit list: Which plants and animals should be banned? Here’s one! Norway maple. No shockers, but a good read. From syracuse.com. (Incidentally, The Post–Standard will be moving to a three-days-a-week print publication schedule in the near future.)
- There’s a new app in the works by gardencompass.com that can identify plants, bugs and diseases just from a snapshot—though the results make take 24 hours. It also uses GPS to tell consumers where they can buy plants and products. From Green Profit.
EVENTS:
- Cornell Plantations’s Fall Lecture Series continues October 10 with Scott Black, Executive Director, The Xerces Society for Inverteberate Conservation.
