Not to Be Missed<\/h3>\n

UpShoot had a great time in Chicago for the GWA 2018 Annual Conference and Expo<\/a><\/b>. It was a pleasure to be an exhibitor, a sponsor and a speaker. In case you weren\u2019t able to come to the Windy City, here is a brief synopsis of what you missed in the UpShoot booth:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"New plants of course!<\/h4>\n

<\/b>Here is a link<\/a><\/b> to UpShoot\u2019s Great Garden Stories flyer which features story starting ideas revolving around Nativars, Scent-Sational Selections, Flower Power, Fine Foliage and Garden Staples including Persian Spire\u2122 Parrotia<\/a><\/b>, Old Fashioned Cotinus<\/a><\/b> and a Mr. Bowling Ball\u00ae<\/a><\/b> to name just a few.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Great Garden Stories Flyer<\/a><\/p>\n

Our booth included a special appearance by Kathy McKay of Schoneveld Breeding<\/a><\/b> featuring their cyclamen including Mammoth Red<\/a><\/b>, the reddest cyclamen on the market. She discussed how they breed for the amount of flowers per plant and\u00a0 how to utilize cyclamen both indoors and outdoors in mixed containers. <\/b>
\nInstantHedge<\/a><\/b> launched their borders in a flash this past spring but their boxwood version<\/a><\/b> debuted at the IGC and GWA show.<\/p>\n

Holiday Favorites<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/b>Spookley the Square Pumpkin<\/a><\/b> and other edutainment books and activity packets from Evergreen Creations<\/a><\/b> were an attention-getter in the booth.
\nIn fact, Evergreen Creations has just launched their new The Tree Farmer\u2019s Twelve Days of Christmas<\/em><\/a><\/b> book and Christmas Tree activity packet in time for the holidays.
\n\"\"We also had displays featuring daVinci<\/a><\/b> grow and drop-in pots which are made in the USA. They have several holiday patterns and debuted new patterns for 2019.
\nSome of my favorite plants for holiday decorating include mixed combo of poinsettias and Senecio Angel Wings<\/a><\/b> from Concept Plants, Santa\u2019s Delight\u00ae Variegated Holly<\/a><\/b> and red fruited crabapples like Weeping Candied Apple\u2122<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n
