Get in on the veggie trend!
More consumers are looking to include edible plants in their gardening. According to a recent article from the National Gardening Association, money spent on vegetable gardening was up 20 percent in 2007 and they estimate there may be a 10 percent increase in the number of vegetable gardeners in 2008. There's no doubt that edible gardening is a major trend, so we've created specialty programs to support your vegetable offering.
Below are four different ways you can promote vegetables to your retail and home gardener customers. For  more information or to place an order, contact your Ball sales rep or login to WebTrack.
