Fifty garden center retailers gathered in the icy confines of Atlanta Jan. 6-8 to share ideas and focus on driving business in 2010 at the third annual Revolutionary 100 Roundtable Event, hosted by Today’s Garden Center.

This year the event took place at AmericasMart during the Gift & Home Furnishings Show, so retailers could participate in the information exchange, as well as shop the show. It’s the first year the event was open to all 100 retailers that made the list. In the closing session of the roundtable, one retailer called the event “pleasantly overwhelming,” and many said they had a notepad full of ideas to take home and review for implementation.

Today’s Garden Center will feature full coverage of the Roundtable in the March issue of the magazine, and videos of ideas and thoughts from the event will be posted on the website throughout the coming months. Stay tuned for more!
