Re: Fw: garden columns

I think that is the way to keep things going.  Right now though  Georgia is 
in a major drought and several nurseries are going under fast, so  they cannot 
support a column. My thought is to mention them anyway if they have  a 
specific plant or known for specific lines such as heirloom roses.   Hopefully they 
will think of me when the drought is over and i send the  marketing team over 
to chat to them.

when  garden centre owners mention they like my  column i ask them to tell 
the advertising rep that they want their ad near  my column. and just to keep 
things clear, unless a local centre has done  something extraordinary, no-one 
gets a gratuitous plug.
since i've  started with the latter, my column appears right next to the 
adverts, and  hasn't  missed a week. so, they might not want to bump up the 
pay a  couple of dollars but they're not willing to let the advertising 
revenue  slip out of their fingers.
