Perennials for Profit
Indiana Horticulture Congress
Perennials are quickly
finding their way into home gardens and commercial landscapes around the
world. Why?…BECAUSE THEY ARE
DIFFERENT! Perennials provide colors,
textures, heights and peak bloom times that greatly set them apart from most
annuals. Perennials also provide
YOU with a great way to increase your market, selling season and income.
Following is an outline of
this afternoon’s presentation.
We will be covering a lot in this 20-minute session, so if you have
specific questions or need further clarification in any of the areas, please
note it on this outline and feel free to visit with me during the conference or
give me a call at 317-733-0693 (The Woods Edge Greenhouse) or 317-769-6633 (my
home office).
