TWILIGHT MEETING 



of t/ie New Hampshire Plant Growers Association 



Tuesday, June 18 at 6pm 

 Lake Street Garden Center 

 37 Lake Street, Salem, NH 



Lake Street Garden Center (LSGC) is a retail garden center estab- 

 lished in iQ73 by Frank and Mary Wolfe and their family. Their 

 specialty is plants and mid-June is the peak ("You'll see us at our 

 best"). 



Off the beaten path — "in the woods where the birds sing" — in 

 populous and suburban Salem, LSGC has experienced over twenty 

 years of steady growth, but has dealt with numerous changes, espe- 

 cially in the nature of its ever-increasing competition — newer garden 

 centers and, most recently, volume/price-driven warehouse chains. 



There is a tour; topics include; "Learning from the Mass-mar- 

 keters," "Where the Strength of the Independent Garden Center 

 Lies;" "Display and Merchandising Ideas that Work," and "Advertis- 

 ing, Pricing — What Sells." 



All this — and refreshments that include Pansy Pizza, Bourbon/ 

 Tuberous Begonia/Vinaigrette Salad, and Potatoes with Scarlet Run- 

 ner Beans. 



It sounds like a provocative evening. For information, contact 

 Frank Wolfe at 603-893-5858. 



Directions: Take either Route 28 or Route I 1 1 to Salem. At the 

 junction of these two, go between US Gas and the Honda dealer- 

 ship onto Lake Street. LSGC is one mile on your right.
