Crystal Ball Project tackles industry issues
GIE Media’s Horticultural Group hosted a first-of-its-kind meeting June 5-7 in St. Louis. The Crystal Ball Project united leaders of some of the nation’s most prominent nursery and greenhouse operations from across the country.

Led by Nursery Management publisher Todd Davis and Greenhouse Management editor David Kuack, attendees discussed top issues including labor, production, marketing, branding and government regulations. Attendees didn’t focus on the negative. Instead they shared ideas and vowed to have follow-up conversations and meetings.

Look for the Second Annual Crystal Ball Project to take place in June 2012.
