🌿 Off to Columbus! ✈️
This week we’re heading to one of the country’s largest greenhouse and horticulture conventions to learn from some of the very best in the industry.
Even though our greenhouse season has wrapped up, we’re always looking for new ideas, better growing techniques, exciting new plant varieties, and inspiration to make Bendickson Barn & Blossoms even better each year.
We truly believe that the best way to serve our customers is to never stop learning. Every class we attend, every greenhouse we tour, and every conversation we have helps us become better growers and better gardeners.
Some of the best ideas we’ve brought back over the years have come from trips just like this. Sometimes it’s a new plant, sometimes it’s a better way to grow a crop, and sometimes it’s just one small tip that makes a big difference. Our goal is always to bring home ideas that will make Bendickson Barn & Blossoms and the experience we create for our customers even better.
We’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes photos, greenhouse tours, new plants, products, and ideas throughout the week, so follow along—we’d love to take you with us!
💚 We’d love your help, too…
If you could send us to Columbus with one question, what would it be?
🌿 Is there a plant you’ve struggled to grow?
🌸 A new variety you’d love to see us carry?
🌳 Questions about trees or shrubs?
🏡 Landscaping ideas?
🐝 Pollinator gardens?
🪴 Houseplants?
🐞 Plant pests or diseases?
Leave your questions in the comments! If we can find an answer while we’re there, we’ll bring it back and share it with everyone.
Thank you for supporting our little greenhouse here in northern Minnesota and making opportunities like this possible. We never take your support for granted, and we can’t wait to bring some fresh inspiration home for next season. 💚
