For the fifth year, Proven Winners is kicking off its consumer campaign with three all-day events created for gardeners of all ages and all levels of gardening experience. This year Proven Winners will bring it roadshow to:
• Boston, MA—Saturday, March 2
• Chicago, IL—Saturday, March 23
• Vancouver, BC—Saturday, April 20
Each Saturday session will begin with registration at 8:30 a.m., followed by nationally recognized speakers who will present the latest ideas in gardening and outdoor living. Participants will enjoy a catered lunch, snacks throughout the day, raffle prizes galore—and everyone attending will take home a plant and a gift bag filled with fun and useful gardening items.
In each of the three Extravaganza locations, Proven Winners is looking for retailers to help them spread the word about the event in their area. In return, Proven Winners will point each participant back to the retailer’s store with a coupon in each gift bag for a free plant, or a discount—whatever method the retailer prefers. Retailers can find out more by contacting their Proven Winners propagator, or by e-mailing Sandy Wentworth at sandy@provenwinners.com
Specific details about each of the Outdoor Living Extravaganzas can be found on the Proven Winners website. The cost to attend the event is $70, and registration is now available online or by calling the main office at (877) 865-5818. Seating is limited, so those interested will be best served by reserving a space early.
