Mother's Day in the garden center

Nice profile of All Season's Garden Center in the Grand Forks Herald and picked up by AgWeek.com.

In the article, owner Georgia Heitmann explains the store's Mother's Day plan, which included serving cake and lemonade at the store's open house.

"The neat thing about Mother's Day is you get families," she said in the article. "You'll see three generations or four generations." It's a big weekend for garden center sales - so how did you capitalize on it?

My mother in law was pretty impressed with a local Panera restaurant, which was handing out a carnation and free coffee to all female customers on Sunday morning.
