Sessions will run from 8:30 am-3:30 pm each day, and include a complimentary breakfast and lunch. Growers and retailers will learn about new varieties and get one-on-one answers to complex growing questions. In the afternoon, Judy Sharpton's strategic suggestions will guide retailers who want to improve their store layout, create garden center destinations and merchandise their newest retail items.

Dave Konsoer, Director of Sales with Proven Winners, states “After hosting the Proven Winners Roadshows for so many years, it is obvious to me that attendees always enjoy the day, are extremely glad they came, and walk away with easily implementable ideas to improve their business."
