Spider Web Gardens was begun by Bill Stockman's grandfather back in 

 1938, making it one of the older family-run Green Industry enter- 

 prises in the state. 



But Spider Web continues to evolve and grow. Today it includes 

 20,000 square feet of production area in 13 greenhouses, two acres of 

 field-grown perennials, and three acres of nursery stock. Bill will discuss 

 his ongoing expansion plans — what's done and what's coming. 



Spider Web is allowing use of their business in order to let people 

 learn how to evaluate their own. Prior to the meeting, from 4 until 5:30, 

 Dave Seavey, UNH Cooperative Extension, will lead a workshop on gar- 

 den center evaluation. Dave will take the comments of the participants 

 and combine them into a single report. At a later date (to be decided by 

 the participants), there will be a follow-up meeting to go over the final 

 report. This would be a very useful exercise for the owner of any retail 

 operation. 



Food will be served. We need to know the numbers attending and ask 

 that you call Ann Hilton at 603-435-6425 by June 18 if you plan to at- 

 tend. For information on the workshop, call Dave Seavey at 603-225-5505. 



A flier will be sent closer to the date with more information and directions.
