Plantpeddler invites the industry to come together at this year's Plantpeddler Variety Day on Friday, Aug. 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Cresco, Iowa. This is an opportunity to bring the industry together. All horticulture professionals in production, distribution, wholesale, retail, landscape and allied trades are invited to a complimentary day full of genetics, breeders, seminars, tours, food and networking.
The Plantpeddler Trial Garden features nearly 1,500 varieties of vegetative annuals from the company's global array of breeders and farms. This event is an opportunity to explore, expand, educate and exchange ideas. It's also a beautiful place to take photos and gather information for spring 2023 social media and marketing.
This year, there is an outstanding slate of presenters covering techniques and technology to help attendees grow crops more successfully and increase their bottom lines. Industry leaders will be on the main stage to deliver take-home messages and participating breeders and sponsor vendors will be available throughout the day to help answer any specific questions and expand attendees' industry network.
