Who's Who

On Garden Media's expert panel for the "Talking Trends" Hangout are our two winners from our contest. These two garden businesses were chosen out of dozens due to their creative and effective tactics implementing garden trends to boost business.

gardenerd

gardenerd teaches people how to grow their own food through classes, consulting and food garden design and installation. With the increase in knowledge of GMOs and the use of pesticides, herbicides and synthetic fertilizers, more and more people want to know where their food comes from and they want to take back control over their food sources.

Gardenerd empowers people to be more self-sufficient, and to reduce pollution and waste one garden at a time.

Christy Wilhelmi is the driving force behind GardenNerd and will be representing the site on the Hangout today.

SmartGardener

SmartGardener mpowers more than 400,000 US landscapers to provide food gardening services to the over 43 million US households growing edibles in their gardens. How?

SmartGardener provides an online vegetable garden planner for anyone who wants homegrown, healthy and tasty food to be part of their lifestyle...while having a busy life.

SmartGardener's CEO, Carl Alguire, will be talking about how he uses trends to boost business. Carl has conceived, funded, launched and driven seven start-ups to profitability and long term growth.
