P. Allen Smith Gardening Event

Proven Winners is sponsoring a special
garden celebration on Friday, August 3 at Pleasant View Gardens in
Loudon, NH
.  The featured speaker is award-winning garden and lifestyle
expert, P. Allen Smith, the spokesman for Proven Winners.  He is known for his
series of popular books and three television shows.  During lunch, P. Allen will
show us how to transform ordinary landscapes into extraordinary ones with before
and after presentations.   After lunch, he will be available for book signings
and pictures.

The event also includes tours of the
facilities and impressive trial gardens, including over 500 Proven Winners
varieties, as well as new introductions for the year 2013.  There will also be
educational sessions in and around the gardens on how to best care for
containers, prune Hydrangeas and properly maintain shrubs.
