Door County Master Gardeners Present the “Jan and Glenn Show – Best of 2009” at Crossroads, May 11

Posted on 21. Apr, 2010 by in Gardening

The Door County Master Gardeners’ Association will host a free public gardening program on May 11 in the Collins Learning Center at Crossroads at Big Creek beginning at 7 pm.

From Bangkok to Chicago, Madison to Warsaw, there is a second dynamic duo, this one from  from Mayflower Greenhouse in Green Bay who will review their travels and share new gardening ideas gathered from near and far. “The Jan and Glenn Show – the best of 2009,” presented by Jan Wos and Glenn Spevacek, will include container and gardening ideas, new plant discoveries and of course, lots of fun!

Jan Wos purchased Mayflower Greenhouses in Oneida 10 years ago and has transformed it into a destination garden store with regional appeal. Under Jan’s ownership, Mayflower has established itself locally and statewide as a leader in his niche of annuals – tender plants for seasonal display in garden beds and especially containers. While most annuals have become commodity items, easily sold at discount stores, Jan has placed focus on hard to find varieties as well as the standards.

Jan’s ability to harness the creativity of his staff and friends leads to a retail experience like no other. There are benches upon benches of the usual petunias, marigolds and unique annuals.

However, there are also suitcases, antique butter churns, an occasional department store mannequin and even an old 1948 Packard planted with an exuberance of color and texture.

Jan‘s motto is. “If it doesn’t move, plant it: if it moves, plant it quickly!”

Glenn Spevacek owns NEW Gardens, a consulting and marketing firm with an emphasis on garden-related businesses. Prior to beginning NEW Gardens, Glenn was the Executive Director of the Green Bay Botanical Garden.

Each gardening season Glenn and Jan make a variety of gardening presentations throughout Wisconsin. Last year each of them spoke to over 2,000 people and have received high accolades from all.

The program is free and open to the public.
