The Garden Splendor brand of premium plant material in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions is sponsoring an event with Chuck Hafner’s Farmers Market & Garden Center to show appreciation for garden center customers carrying the branded plants.
After a long year, yet one filled with inspiring success stories, a network gathering seemed just the ticket to discuss strategies and tips for next year. The 2nd Annual Garden Splendor Customer Appreciation Day celebration will take place at Chuck Hafner’s Farmers Market & Garden Center in North Syracuse, NY. Attendees will be able to tour the facility to see first-hand how the Hafners were able to build their state-of-the-art operation and maintain ongoing success, even during a downturned market.
Additional special events include a merchandising demonstration by Terri Coldcreek of Color Results who will relay some expert advice on merchandising techniques with color and props for great visual appeal; lunch at the famous Syracuse diner, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que; a creative display contest in the afternoon; and guided tours of Hafner’s Christmas tree farm with over 100,000 local trees in production.
