Session Title:  Garden Retail Workshop: Taking it to the Next Level  

Saturday, July 10  7:30 AM - 5:30 PM

Description: What makes a garden center relevant to the modern consumer? How do you keep up with the latest trends and the ever-changing customer? Last time we answered those questions by uncovering what makes a garden center modern and learned from industry experts about what it takes to get there. Join us this year and help define the garden center of the future. 

This travelling workshop, led by Katie Dubow of Garden Media Group, Clint Albin of Clint Albin Consulting, Tammy Behm of Maypop Coffee & Garden Shop, and Jessie Jacobson of Tonkadale Greenhouse, will submerse you into three quite different horticultural retail environments in the Columbus area who have embraced today’s modern consumer. 

At each location, you will have the opportunity to learn about and interact with each location’s owner/s as they show you how their shift in mindset of the traditional garden center enabled them to take their businesses to the next level. Come prepared with a fresh mind and a willingness to learn and share as you and 50 of your peers in the industry embark on a deep dive experience of innovative garden center business models. 

Seats are limited. Separate registration required. The Garden Retail Workshop can be added on to your registration when you sign up for Cultivate'21. If you have already registered for Cultivate'21, you can add on the Garden Retail Workshop by calling Maritz at (219) 354-6440.

    Tammy Behm,

    Owner and Managing Director Maypop Coffee & Garden Shop 

    Tammy Behm is the owner and managing director at the recently opened Maypop Coffee & Garden Shop in the greater St. Louis area. Maypop is a modern garden center concept inspired by garden centers around the world that seek to integrate plants and community through experiences. Prior to Maypop, Tammy spent nearly 7 years as horticulture manager at Greenscape Gardens in Manchester, Mo. She has her BA in Biology from Washington University in St. Louis and also studied horticulture at the Missouri Botanical Garden.  To understand her inspiration for a woman-owned, woman-lead business one need look no further than her home life that she shares with a husband who teaches at an all-boys school, their 5 sons, and a male Yorklshire Terrier lovingly referred to as Smooch.


    Maypop ..... Digital Marketing
    Maypop Coffee & Garden Shop is a modern venue for simple and holistic living. We aim to demonstrate the ease of creating both living interior spaces & functional landscapes. We believe that our homes and yards can be a lush oasis of biodiversity that nourish, inspire, heal, & entertain when planted thoughtfully. And we're happy to share the knowledge to get you there. Our namesake, the Maypop, is a showy native vine whose stunning Summer blooms give way to an edible fruit. Flowers can be harvested and used medicinally, or left standing to supply nectar for local insects, bats, and hummingbirds. Also known as the Passionflower, this multi-functioned plant truly exemplifies the spirit of our garden shop.
