Everyone can further their education, including garden center retailers. The Western Nursery & Landscape Association is offering two webinars in the next two months, which are free to WNLA members and $50 for non-members.
The first webinar is noon-1 p.m. Central time on Thursday, November 12 with Doug Tallamy, author of “Bringing Nature Home.” It’s moderated by Jennifer Schamber of Greenscape Gardens and is part of the WNLA Native Plant Education Series.
The second webinar is noon-1 p.m. Central time on Friday, December 11 and is a preview of the 2016 Fashion Show plants. Hear what retailers and growers think about these new plant introductions. Bill Calkins of Ball Horticultural Company will be joined by retailer Sandi Hillermann McDonald of Hillermann Nursery & Florist and grower Jonathan Cude of Sedan Floral for the discussion.
