Tuesday Presentation:
“FLORIADE, a Diamond in the Rough” – Steve Groger
Floriade (Flō-rē-ĂH’-dah) is the Netherlands’ once-every-10-year international horticulture exposition. The 2022 edition’s theme was “Growing Greener Cities“. In his presentation, Steve Groger will give a first-hand pictorial account of this multi-faceted show, having attended two full days in early September. Steve will not only explore this year’s show theme of how horticulture can and will positively impact the urban environment of the future through greening, food supply, health, and energy, but also present several creative display ideas you may be able to employ in your business. He’ll also reflect on Floriade as a case-sturdy in event-management and public relations with the backdrop of a world-wide pandemic.

· Pollinator safe pest prevention in your nursery & educational marketing.

Our session will provide Xerces’ recommendations for sourcing plants produced in a pollinator-friendly manner. We’ll go over principles of integrated pest management, and provide a checklist for plant buyers to use when discussing production practices with your vendors. We’ll cover the “three-legged stool” of pest prevention, monitoring, and limiting pesticide harm.

Lori Vollmer will present how some of our NNBA nurseries have been taking advantage of this trend with creative merchandising, educational marketing, and other trend tie-ins.

About The Xerces Society: The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation is an international nonprofit organization that protects the natural world through the conservation of invertebrates and their habitats. We are a science-based conservation organization, conducting our own research and relying upon the most up-to-date information to guide our work.

“What are the 10 Smartest Things the Smartest People are Doing this Decade? ”
Sid Raisch ~ Horticultural Advantage
Presentation about 30 minutes + questions
We’re all more serious about life and business as the 2020’s begin, and this should translate into a more solid, profitable era for us all. Let’s make it so.
Retail is creative and innovative, often to a fault. We don’t have to re-invent the wheel in everything we do, especially on the business side of the business. You do not have to be smart if you will just do what the smart people (as measured by profit) do.
