Hilltop Greenhouse has completed the necessary training to become a 2008 Proven Winners Certified Garden Center. This program provides garden center owners and employees with up-to-date information so they can assist consumers in choosing and growing Proven Winners plants.
As a certified garden center, employees have successfully completed a training program and test, which evaluated their gardening knowledge and ability to assist customers with questions about plant performance, characteristics, and care. Each spring a new training program is distributed that highlights new Proven Winners introductions and reviews existing products to ensure that employees have the most current and comprehensive information.
According to Marshall Dirks, director of marketing for Proven Winners, “A knowledgeable sales staff increases the chances consumers have for success with their plant purchases. Proven Winners is committed to making sure that employees have the resources necessary to stay informed.”
Proven Winners is an international marketing cooperative comprised of some of the world’s best propagators. As a group, they are dedicated to developing new hybrid color varieties that will perform well for both the grower and consumer. Proven Winners plants are found in more than 5,000 retailers nationwide. For more information about Proven Winners visit www.provenwinners.com.
