[ Monthly Presidential Musings ]
Presidential Thoughts on Trendy Topics. We’re never too old to be thinking about new and interesting changes in life, particularly on a professional level. I still get excited by the challenge of making decisions for my company, decisions that affect our customers and their gardens. By presenting new or slightly changed products our interest in the job remains high. Often it’s a slow change, but it’s change none the less. Cool new plants and potential new hardscape products get my attention. A few weeks back I dug the first potatoes out of my garden. They were red-skinned, nothing new there. Then I cut the first one open: purple/red throughout. The color doesn’t fully cook out, so they make strikingly beautiful potato dishes. Yes, purplish mashed potatoes are a wonder to behold, and very tasty. Now I can’t imagine growing ‘ordinary’ spuds again, so Desert Rose potatoes will be on my shopping list at the Garden Show again in February.
Tim Gray WSNLA President Pacific Stone Company Everett
As the owner of a hardscape supply company there’s a constant barrage of new products, different patterns, or new colors that are presented to me. It always comes down to two questions: Will It Sell and Do I Want To Sell It? When you’re the business owner, if you don’t like the product, it’s pretty easy to not bring it in. New products are always an experiment, a risk, and there’s money on the line. It’s your money, my money, and often a lot of money to begin carrying something new. We need to choose wisely. Gardens aren’t just for the current property owner; they’re for the future too. In the nursery and landscape industry we’re often dealing with people making decisions for people ten, fifty, a hundred years or more from now. People who won’t know anything about you and I or the decisions we’re making today regarding their future garden. These distant owners won’t know what was ‘popular’ or trendy way back in the year 2016. What we do now will be there for a very long time. The so-called backbone of the garden, the hardscape, can remain in place for centuries. Perhaps covered in moss, but relatively unchanged. The trees will be growing into or at maturity, often majestic and beautiful so many years after being planted. All other aspects of the garden, more easily changed over the years, is where we have the greatest impact with changing trends in our industry. Lawns, planting beds, vegetable gardens, playground areas, outdoor kitchens, hot tubs, chicken coops, and all sort of things can come and go in a garden. Today’s sapling oak tree will one day hold a swing or a tree house. Or your great-great grandchildren will get married under its branches ahundred years from now, so choose wisely. There’s that old saying that the more things change the more they stay the same. Cheers, Tim

Washington State Nursery & Landscape Association
Mission Statement Of The Washington State Nursery & Landscape Association Growing the success of our members by representing, educating, and promoting our horticultural community.
Breanne Chavez WSNLA Executive Director
This month I would like to share about a special partnership that WSNLA is a part of - The Washington Community Tree Recovery Campaign. This multi year campaign is a partnership between the National Arbor Day Foundation, the Washington State Nursery and Landscape Association, the Okanogan Conservation District, and the Methow Conservancy. Together we distributed 6,800 trees and shrubs in 2015 to Washington residents free of charge to replace trees destroyed by the 2014 Carlton Complex Fire in Eastern Washington. The recipients of these seedling trees were very appreciative of our collective efforts. This year, wildfires burned twice as many acres as last years fires. WSNLA, through this partnership, is committed to doing our part in helping to restore these areas and the residents impacted. In the April 2015 B&B Magazine, Megan Pulkkinen said “We all know that trees are valuable assets to a community. They help to improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood, increase property values, and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits. WSNLA’s partnership in helping to replant areas impacted by wildfires will benefit the environment, people and wildlife for generations to come.” To that extent, I encourage each member to consider donating to this effort because collectively we have the power to do more. Donations can be made in multiples of $10 by visiting WSNLA.ORG.
WSNLA members are committed to ensuring a vibrant horticulture industry for today and tomorrow. Together we work to grow our industry, by: •
Protecting & advocating
•
Cultivating professionalism
•
Developing future professionals
•
Increasing consumer awareness about the benefits & value of plants, trees & landscapes. www.wsnla.org

Heather Hansen, WSNLA Lobbyist Olympia I just returned from ten days in Cuba on a people-to-people tour sponsored by the Pacific Horticultural Society. We toured multiple botanical gardens, an orchid garden, a vegetable farm and the largest wetland in the Caribbean which hosts numerous bird species. In between, we learned about the challenges and frustrations of life in Cuba. Change is coming, but not nearly fast enough for Cuban citizens. There are eleven million people in Cuba, three million of them are in Havana. There are two million Cubans in Miami and another million scattered across the globe. Nearly everyone has relatives in Miami and many families survive on money sent from Miami or elsewhere. The average salary in Cuba is $15 a month. University professors can make up to $45 a month. Food is expensive and scarce. Beyond beans and rice, variety is limited. Each person gets a monthly ration from the government of five eggs, coffee, bread, rice, beans and sugar. Children and senior citizens also get powdered milk. However, the monthly ration is enough to last only 2-3 days. 6 - The B&B Magazine
The country is full of vibrant plant life. It appears that it would be easy to grow food, but government corruption and the inability to get basic supplies has caused many famers to quit in frustration. Most land is owned by the government. Grain, rice, tobacco, coffee and livestock are all controlled by the government. Farmers must sell 80% of their crop to the government at prices below cost. This results in further corruption because in order to survive, famers skim off part of the crop to sell on the black market. My favorite garden was Jardin Botanico Soledad near Cienfuego. It was founded in 1901 by Edwin F. Atkins as the: “Harvard Botanical Station for Tropical Research and Sugar Cane Investigation�. In 1959, Castro nationalized land and banned foreign ownership. The garden is now managed by the Cuban Academy of Science, Institute of Botany. It covers 220 acres and includes over 2000 trees. Collections include 400 orchids, 230 palms, 65 ficuses and 29 bamboos.
We also saw a performance of the Cienfuegos choir. This a professional choir. Members are paid by the government. They have performed all over the world. In July, they will be in the US for the first time at a competition in Missoula Montana. Upon returning home, the first question most people asked me was about the old cars we see in photos. Yes, they are there, but most are owned by the government and are used as taxis for tourists. Nearly all have Russian engines. Most of the cars driven by Cubans are old dilapidated Russian cars but there is a small fleet of shiny new Toyota RAV4s driven by government officials. Less than 1% of Cubans own cars. Outside of Havana, we drove on four lane highways built in the days of the American sugar companies with no cars for miles. Outside of Havana, the most common forms of transportation are horse cart or bicycle. Many people hitchhike to work. Our tour bus frequently stopped to pick up hitchhikers that our guide or bus driver recognized as hotel employees. Cuba is a beautiful country full of warm and friendly people who welcome Americans. I wish we could do more to make their daily lives a bit easier.
During the trip, Hansen took nearly 900 photos. On this page she is sharing a few from the Jardin Botanico Soledad. PHOTO CREDIT: HEATHER HANSEN

Duane Job Job’s Nursery, Pasco Nominated for WSNLA President Elect
After being in the nursery industry for many years, I have a love of working with nature everyday. I have become a strong believer that in order to be successful in the landscape and nursery business, our customer has to be successful with products and services we provide. To help with this mutual success, we as an industry, need opportunities that WSNLA offers. I enjoy being involved with helping our industry and would like to continue, by serving on the board of the WSNLA. It is wonderful to be in the plant business and help people be successful and inspire others to garden!
Bill Raynolds My Garden Nursery, Bellingham Nominated for WSNLA Treasurer
After a lifetime (31 years) in international investment banking, I entered the crazy world of the retail nursery business. Fortunately I have a partner Jenny Gunderson who creates magic in the space that we call My Garden in Bellingham. One of the key strengths that I have brought to the table in our business is an understanding of finance and how to maximize the usefulness of every dollar that our business generates. My participation on the Board of Washington State Nursery and Landscape Association has been one of the highlights of my 13 years in the nursery business. This organization is made up of dedicated industry leaders who see the benefits of volunteering their time and efforts to further the growth and sustainability of WSNLA’s members. I think that my contributions to WSNLA will be best utilized in the role of Treasurer where I will be able to assist in improving the organization’s financial footing and in clearly communicating WSNLA’s financial condition to the Board and its members.

Connected Greenery
We walk, talk and sleep with our phones. Now, people are getting plugged-in outside, too, syncing garden habits with technology and garden hobbyists with each other. People want to be successful with plants without a lot of work or information. To do this, they are turning to technology to help grow plants both indoors and in the garden. Newly enhanced digital tools make gardening more approachable for younger generations with limited gardening knowledge. Modern systems, like the sleekly designed Nest, work on the ‘one home, one app’ model. They are focused on ease of use and connectivity in which people can wirelessly and remotely control what happens in their home and garden. Don’t count boomers out of the connectivity. Despite popular opinion, 46- to 64-year-olds spend more money on technology than any other demographic. And one in five of them now use social media every day, up from one in 10 last year. They see social media as a way to get something done -- whether that’s something at work or staying in touch with gardening peers. The in-store shopping experience has gone from purchasing to browsing. To continue driving sales, independent retailers must provide the customer with two experiences: one that they interact with digitally from their home and one that inspires them in-store. Mobile coupons and proximity marketing are growing as a driving force in purchasing decisions.
naTECHure
NaTECHure is the intersection of two of the hottest trends in education: technology and nature. It combines virtual and augmented reality to engage kids with gardening, health and fitness in fun, new ways. With Generation Z, born 1995-2009, being the most sedentary generation in American history, it’s vital to get children, and their parents outdoors. Create adventures that layer mysteries, stories, and puzzle-solving over unpredictable environments – or backyards. Whether it’s camping on The White House lawn, attending outdoor kindergarten or using a motor-sensory shovel, experiences that heighten the senses and get people outside playing are necessary.
Precious RESOURCES
Whether running, playing, storytelling, or even geocaching, NaTECHure has the potential to mobilize a new generation of nature lovers.It will get people off the couch, outside and digging in the dirt again.
Brownscaping is becoming more acceptable. In California, cities and towns have been ordered to cut water consumption by 25%. How to garden with less water continues to be a top priority.
The resources that we depend on to garden, particularly water, are limited and need protection. Precious resources is a trend where necessity meets innovation. New technologies and plants offer the opportunity to protect and conserve resources with small lifestyle changes that will make an evolutionary impact on the gardening experience.
People are making small changes in the landscape that have a big impact on Earth’s precious resources. Drought tolerant plants are smart choices to save time and water. Being mindful of Earth’s precious resources enables brands to foster a new connection with consumers and create a better environment.

The Makers Lifestyle
The DIY movement gets a facelift as people shift from “doing” to “making.” Homeowners and renters alike want to experience outdoor living in a way that maintains a sense of home and familiarity but personalized to their tastes. Called Yuccies, they are cultural offspring of yuppies and hipsters. They like to be makers – taste makers, craft makers – not just making things, but experiences. They engage with nature hands-on through projects like growing hops for backyard brewing and testing out natural dyes with fruits and vegetables. They want to get down and dirty and engage with outdoor environments in a more hands-on way. How much it costs, be it high or low, is immaterial. What is important is if what bought validates their intellect, taste and lifestyle.

Backyard Boldness
Taking a bolder approach to outdoor living, people are turning to new customization, lighting and movement to add a sense of whimsicality to their backyards. Transforming porch swings and swimming pools, homeowners are moving away from subtle, minimalist aesthetics toward designs that heighten sensory appeal. Toss boring planters and make a statement with a combination LED and speaker container. Nightscape: A light and sound experience. Stages are being set with light graffiti, multifunctional planters and colorful plants that make a statement. At first glance, an LED Tree Swing might look like a typical rope swing found in a quaint backyard, but upon closer inspection it’s clear that it’s not. It has been wrapped with Electroluminiscent Tape with RGB LEDs on the bottom that creates a striking glow at night. Longwood Gardens’ Nightscape exhibit is drawing record breaking crowds to the gardens after dark. The outdoors returns as a destination. People are making childhood memories and family experiences that offer the nostalgia of catching fireflies and reminiscing at summer BBQ’s. Bold colors of red, orange and purple flower bulbs from planted close together in varying patterns can make a major personality statement – and get kids in the garden.

WELLTALITY
Horticulture is intrinsically tied to health and wellness. People are putting their health first, from what we put in our mouths and on our bodies or the environment, even when we’re on vacation. Welltality, a trend in the hospitality industry, is cashing in on the benefits of plants. Hotels are becoming destination locations with living walls, indoor forests and serving locally grown food. From helping people heal faster, concentrate better and elevating people’s moods, greenery is incorporated throughout the guest experience. With the help of consumer awareness campaigns like the industry Plant Something messaging and O2 For You® ‘Plants with a Purpose’ consumer awareness of the benefits will only grow. A healthy staple in every kitchen, berries are essential in the garden, too. Blueberries, packed with nutrition and antioxidants, are easy to grow in containers to support the garden to table movement.
Dogscaping
Pets run through the lawn, roll in it, dig in it and often eat it so it’s no wonder that pet owners are thinking more and more about how to make their gardens pet friendly and pet safe. Petscaping to protect dogs and cats from poisonous plants and harmful chemicals is as important as protecting precious plants from pets.
WSNLA
FindAccording out more to at GardenWashington.com the 2015-2016 APPA National Pet Owners Survey, 65% of U.S. households Washington State Nursery & Landscape Association
own a pet. Pet owners spend about $60 billion dollars on their pets each year, second only to Christmas spending. And they’re gardeners. A survey by the Philadelphia Flower Show and Subaru found a direct correlation between pet owners and gardeners. Creating a chemical free environment from the ground up is key for a safe lawn and garden. With 1 in 3 dogs getting cancer each year, pet parents believe, like eating nutritious food, the safest practice is to use organic lawn products and limit the use of potentially harmful garden chemicals.
Layered Landscapes
The landscaping trend is shifting from green deserts to ‘Living Landscapes.’ Doug Tallamy, professor of entomology and wildlife ecology at the University of Delaware, says people want to bring their yard back to its natural habitat as each plant serves a purpose in supporting local, natural ecosystems, pollinators and other wildlife. Dr. Tallamy says a living landscape starts with trees and is layered underneath with shrubs and flowers.
World renowned garden designer Andrew Fisher Tomlin says design trends are shifting. People want a hardy combination of trees, conifers, shrubs and perennials, rather than endless meadows of perennials. Tomlin says this move is driven by a desire to create more impactful, lasting and sustainable plantings which will last not just throughout the year -- but for many years to come.
As people’s passion for preserving the earth increases, they will see and purchase plants for their function as well as their beauty. A grass roots gardening movement is just beginning and with it, a relaxed look and feel.
