RE: What's new at the garden center

**"Susan McCoy" b*@impact-pr.com**

Here are some new cool tools, award-winning roses and annuals, and new way
to get compost tea that all are being released this season.  For more
information, contact us.
Wolf-Garten's Interlocken System tools are the coolest we've ever seen. This
German company's arrival in the American market is highlighted bh the launch
of its Interlocken system of snap-on/off multi-head tools.  This high
quality, high style tool allow the gardener to interchangeably snap
different "heads" into either short or long handles, providing the proper
"fit" for any gardener's height or task. With the Interlocken system, you
can carry one handle and all the tools you need in one bag - and storage and
retrieval are quick and easy. (www.wolf-garten.com)
Simply Beautiful: Color will be king as this new, exciting brand of annuals
from Ball Horticulture expands its annual collection with such bursts of
color as Blue Tidal Wave petunia, the 2003 All-America Selections Gold Medal
Winner Purple Majesty ornamental millet and AngelMist angelonias, and the
first-ever, heavily scented pink bicolor verbena, Aztec Pink
(www.simplybeautifulgardens.com)
Conard-Pyle: A rose is a rose is ...an AARS winner! C-P's "Cherry Parfait,"
a beautiful, round, vigorous bushy plant produces blooms of show-stopping
white, edged with red and nestled amongst dense, glossy foliage. "Cherry
Parfait" will be available online, through mail order catalogs and at garden
centers, nurseries, home centers and mass merchandisers during the 2003
planting season.
Soil Soup Inc.:  The Seattle based organic entrepreneur, SoilSoup, is
setting out to prove that small is bigger - and more profitable - with
delivery of its portable 4X6 "SoilSoup Kitchen" vending cart to over 100
garden centers in the Pacific Northwest and California. Garden center
customers will be able to draw their own gallon of Soil Soup's compost tea
or get other supplies they need from the specially designed cart.

Subject: [GWL] What's new at the garden center

I'm working on a column on what's new at the garden center this spring,
and - since many things arrive in the US before they make it to Canada - I'm
hoping some of the US writers can give me a heads up. It can be hardware or
plants.
Thanks
Carol
