Polar Bear poinsettias come to The Ventian/The Palazzo hotels

Paul Ecke Ranch is partnering with The Venetian/The Palazzo hotels in Las Vegas to create a living topiary holiday display made from Ecke’s newest poinsettia cultivar Polar Bear. A public and media event on Dec. 9 will serve as the official launching of Ecke’s Pay-it-Forward for Polar Bears campaign which benefits Polar Bears International. During the event, the company will unveil a larger-than-life poinsettia sculpture to help raise awareness about conservation of polar bears and Arctic habitat. For every Polar Bear poinsettia cutting purchased, Ecke will make a donation to the non-profit conservatory organization. 100% of all donations go directly to the organization’s research and education projects. Numerous activities are planned for the event and both Robert Buchanan, president/CEO of Polar Bears International, and Paul Ecke III, CEO of the Ecke Ranch, will be in attendance.
