Your Vote Counts!

GWA elections will be coming up soon. I have been asked to run for Secretary and have accepted that nomination. I believe my vast green industry experience as well as my service to GWA as a regional director, co-chair of the AOTF and Management Consultant Ad-Hoc Committee makes me uniquely qualified. Thanks for your consideration and be sure to vote!

#PerDrA

June is Perennial Gardening month! Our favorite perennial guru, Dr. Allan Armitage, one of the most respected plant authorities in the green industry, recently penned his memoirs. UpShoot is honored to have played a role in bringing his newest book to life by coordinating its design, layout and editing.

Dr. Allan Armitage's memoir: It's Not Just About The Hat

His stories depict his unlikely trajectory as a shy boy from a quiet neighborhood in Montreal to a world-renowned plantsman. This book exemplifies everything you have come to expect from one of the most engaging storytellers today.

The book is self-published and available personalized on allanarmitage.net. It is also for sale amazon.com.
