NEW HAMPSHIRE PLANT GROWERS' ASSOCIATION 

 ANNUAL WINTER MEETING 



Wednesday, January 13, 1993, 

 Granite Street Bar & Grill, Manchester, New Hampshire 



Registration begins at 9:00 (Coffee and Danish provided). Our annual busi- 

 ness meeting and election of officers will follow at 9:30. 



This year's theme is Color in the Garden. For those members who 

 raise or sell garden material — annuals, perennials, bedding plants (this 

 probably includes most of us) — or use it in design work, here is a chance 

 to look at new introductions and new ways of using some of the old. 

 Speakers include Mike Murgiano, Sluis &. Groot Seed Company, who will 

 speak on Color in the Landscape) Peter van Berkum, van Berkum Nurs- 

 ery, speaking on Color in Perennials-, and Richard Zoerb, Fred C. 

 Gloekner &. Company, who will give a slide tour of some of the innova- 

 tions at the Ameriflora Exhibition in Columbus, Ohio. 



Breaking up all this color with some black-and-white facts on market- 

 ing and finance will be Tina Sawtelle, Sawtelle Marketing Associates, 

 speaking on Designing a Logo that Works for You, and Bill Martin, South- 

 ern New England Farm Credit, whose talk is entitled Traffic Signals of a 

 Financial Statement: A Fifteen-Minute Growers' Analysis. 



Lunch (12-1:30) offers salad and a choice of grilled chicken breast, 

 baked scrod, or shish kebab. Dessert is carrot cake. 



The meal is offered only to those who preregister. Preregistration is 

 $20; walk-in, $15. So it's sensible to socialize with fellow members and 

 come for lunch. A flier with more information and directions on how to 

 get there will be in the mail shortly. (You may have already received it.) 

 For even more information, call Chris Robarge at (603) 862-1074. 



TWILIGHT MEETING: PLEASANT VIEW GARDENS 



Thursday, January 21, 5:30-7:30 



The First Twilight Meeting of 1993 will be held at Pleasant View Gardens 

 in Pittsfield on January 21. The meeting will begin around 5:30. 



The Huntingtons — Jon, Jeff, and Henry — will host the meeting and give 

 a tour of their brand new 25,000-square foot Nexus gutter-connected 

 house. The house is environmentally computer-controlled and the inno- 

 vations include trench drains in the concrete floor leading to a drainage 

 ditch. (Eventually a pond will be built to catch run-off.) 



The house will have been in operation barely a month, so it will be a 

 good opportunity to see the beginnings of a major new production house. 



For information, call Henry at (603) 435-8361.
