Home and Garden

I am a co-op student and my marketing project is to email garden clubs and offer them free samples of the garden products the company I work for makes. I need to know how to approach the clubs in my initial email so I want some insight into what they value most (ie free products, education, etc). This will help me choose my approach in order to get the largest response for my campaign. Any insight from gardeners/club members would be appreciated!
I am a co-op student and my marketing project is to email garden clubs and offer them free samples of the garden products the company I work for makes. The products are more expensive, electronic items so clubs will be given a choice of one of three products. I need to know how to approach the clubs in my initial email so I want some insight into what they value most (ie free products, education, etc). Should I just email and say free product or send them some research on a problem and how the products help solve it? Something else? This will help me choose my approach in order to get the largest response for my campaign. Any insight from gardeners/club members would be appreciated!

I am making a 6′ 8 garden bed, and I know how to make it and how to garden and all that stuff. But, there’s one thing I don’t know. How do you keep animals like Deer, Raccoon, and pesky animals like that out of your garden?

We just bought a place in the country, but it doesn’t look like there has been a garden here in recent years. I don’t know how to create a nice, clean area for a garden. I would appreciate any suggestions.

This is my first gardening experience. The tomatoes turned out nicely. But now what do I do? If I leave the plants, will they grow more tomatoes again?

My aunt made these a while back and I asked her for the recipe.. She said it was in the Better Home Gardens cookbook. I thought I had this cookbook but it must have gotten lost when I moved. Does anyone have a copy of this recipe?

Thanks!

I can’t leave a hose running while i am on vacation and my garden will wilt and die in almost 2 days without constant daily watering.

I live in a very woodsy area and am worried that if I try to plant a garden all of the rabbits and squirrels will eat the food before they can be picked.

I am responsible for maintaining my grandmothers LARGE garden for the next week. She left one day ago and already some of the flowers look like they’re dying.

A few of them appear to droop and look to be curling up and hardening. I believe she watered them before she left and I watered them again in the evening. The next morning I watered them, then watered them again in the evening. The temperatures been around 90 degrees and about half of the plants are hanging on pots above the fence while the others are in the ground.

The garden is about three feet wide but goes all around the perimiter of the yard and there is a ton of stuff. I usually run the water right where the plants roots are for about ten seconds then move to the next plant, the whole routine usually takes me 45minutes. Unfortunetly these plants aren’t looking too good and she will be very disappointed if she returns home to dead plants.

Any tips on how I can keep them alive?
