How much are plants worth this spring?
How do the rules of doing business during recession apply to you?
While it could be good advice to follow a growing trend of people who have decided not to participate in this recession, even better advice may be to participate fully in the effects the economic downturn is causing.

The news on early spring gardening interest is much better than anyone anticipated six months ago, or even three months ago. I hope you are not getting tired of hearing about it in all the garden center industry news yet! The question is, are you ready to make everything you can of it, without hanging your backside out so far you cannot recover if it falls short.
