It's a new year which is already off to a rough start, yet it somehow feels a little different than 2020.  Many are optimistic that we will see a sense of normalcy in the coming months and perhaps travel to 1-2 industry events later in the year. All signs are indicating that late-winter and spring will keep the green industry busy, but also keep homeowners  busy around the house and in the yard. With so many new homeowners, it's a great time to look at the landscape and spruce it up with new plants or a putting in a vegetable garden.On this episode, our guest is Natalie Carmolli, Advertising and PR Specialist with Spring Meadow Nursery and Proven Winners. She shares some of the new plants being introduced this year like the new Quick Fire Fab® panicle hydrangeas, featured in the  shown in the episode image, with Tim Wood, Proven Winners® ColorChoice® New Product Development Manager. Natalie has an inside look at other new plants that are making their way to garden centers and online, to create the perfect outdoor oasis. From the hydrangea to tomato plants, Natalie shares what makes these new plant unique, but are also easy to grow for both the experienced and new gardeners.There are few things in life that can help distract you from day-to-day life like being outdoors, planting new plants and enjoying them for many years to come. Stay safe and make it great new year.CONNECT WITH OUR GUESTNatalie Carmolli at Proven Winners - Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.CONNECT WITH USEnjoy this episode or have questions?

In this week's episode of Down The Garden Path, Natalie Carmolli of Spring Meadow Nursery joins us to discuss the new varieties of flowering shrubs for 2020. Natalie is rooted in horticulture. When she was six years old, her family moved to a farmhouse on 40 acres in Michigan. This house was unique in that it had a full-sized glass greenhouse in the side yard. So, of course, her mother started a small seasonal business selling spring bedding plants, which quickly turned into a full-service flower shop. Natalie grew up working in that shop, learning floral design and customer service. She'd take these skills with her to college where she continued working in the floral industry while earning her degree in performing and fine arts. So how does one combine a fine art and theatre degree with a lifetime immersed in horticulture? As public relations specialist for Spring Meadow Nursery, Natalie puts the communication skills she learned in the theatre to express herself clearly and confidently when talking about one of her favorite subject, the art of gardening using Proven Winners® ColorChoice® flowering shrubs! Tune into this week's podcast to hear Natalie of Spring Meadow Nursery discuss some new varieties of flowering shrubs: Winecraft Gold Smoke Bush Rose of Sharon - Chiffon Series has expanded Pieris Interstella Fothergilla Legend of the Fall Dandy Man series of Rhododendron Plus a few more landscaping favourites! You'll also learn more about Spring Meadow Nursery, their acres of greenhouses and how they choose their selections each year.

As we think ahead to the New Year—and spring 2020—we’re thinking about which plants are going onto our holiday wish lists.
