UpShoot is our name, NEW is our game!<\/h1>\n

\"newvarieties<\/p>\n

New Plants that is! And one of the first places we debut new plant introductions each year is the New Varieties Showcase at the\u00a0Farwest Show<\/a>\u00a0in Portland, Oregon.\u00a0New Varieties<\/a>\u00a0entrants are also featured in the\u00a0August issue<\/a>\u00a0of OAN\u2019s The Digger Magazine.<\/p>\n

\"\"This year is no exception as two plants we represent are featured NVS submissions including Marleys Pink Parasol Japanese Snowbell and Lo-Hugger American Cranberry.<\/p>\n

And Our Retailers Choice Winners Are…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"The<\/a>These two plants also took home\u00a0Retailers Choice Awards<\/a>\u00a0from The Garden Center Group! Danny Summers, Sid Raisch and a group of local retailers selected the show’s best and hottest new products for retail!<\/p>\n

Marleys Pink Parasol is a weeping Styrax that will fit in smaller landscape areas and patio containers.\u00a0 It has larger, glossier leaves as well as delicate, cotton candy scented flowers.<\/p>\n

\"Marleys<\/a><\/p>\n

Download the\u00a0sales flyer<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0press release<\/a>\u00a0here for Marleys Pink Japanese Snowbell.<\/p>\n

A selected native, Lo-Hugger is an American Cranberry with a fast growing habit. This edible evergreen groundcover produces red berries along side dark green foliage which turns deep burgundy in the winter months.<\/p>\n

Summer Squash Sharing<\/h2>\n
\n

Each year the garden has zucchini but this time we tried Tri-color Squash (and more) courtesy of\u00a0Renee\u2019s Garden Seeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Renee's<\/p>\n

Here is one of my most favorite ways to share a bountiful harvest of zukes!<\/p>\n

Zucchini Nibbles<\/strong>
4 small unpeeled zukes, sliced thin (3 cups)
1 cup Original Bisquick
1 med onion, chopped finely (\u00bd cup)
\u00bd cup grated Parmesan cheese
\u00bd cup vegetable oil
2 T chopped fresh parsley
\u00bd t salt
\u00bd t seasoned salt
\u00bd t oregano
1 clove garlic, minced
4 eggs, slightly beaten<\/p>\n

Stir all ingredients until blended. Spread in greased rectangular pan. Bake 25 minutes until golden brown at 350 degrees.<\/p>\n

\"Zucchini<\/p>\n

Zucchini Nibbles are great hot or cold. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n

\"GWA<\/p>\n

August 8-11th was the 66th GWA Annual Symposium in Pittsburgh, PA. It marked several first\u2019s for UpShoot and me personally including:<\/p>\n

\u2022 It was the first time UpShoot was an exhibitor!<\/p>\n

\"Maria<\/p>\n

\u2022 I was privileged to present the new plant talk titled\u00a0“Garden Plants for Success”<\/a>\u00a0with my “gardening brother,” Kelly Norris, author and Horticulture Manager of the\u00a0Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Gardenpedia\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022 My upcoming book with co-author Pam Bennett of The Ohio State University was formally announced! Our publisher,\u00a0St. Lynn\u2019s Press<\/a>\u00a0debuted\u00a0“Garden-pedia: An A to Z Guide to Gardening Terms”<\/a>during the exhibition period.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Next year\u2019s symposium will be in LA! I look forward to John Bartram (aka Kirk Brown) gracing our booth with his presence again!<\/p>\n

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle<\/h2>\n
\n

While not a regular coffee drinker, I will admit I do like to treat myself to the occasional white hot mocha from\u00a0Starbucks<\/a>. The extra kick of caffeine helps keep this energizer bunny going on her hectic travel schedule.
\"Starbucks
I noticed at my local Starbucks they package and give away their\u00a0coffee grounds<\/a>\u00a0to gardeners as one of their recycling efforts. Coffee grounds make a\u00a0great addition<\/a>\u00a0to your soil or\u00a0compost pile<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Additionally I recently gained an interesting Instagram follower; takeoutyourgarden.com. \u00a0They promote reusing your paper and plastic cups as terrariums and seed starting pots.
\"Terrarium\"

What a great way to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
