FROM THE ROAD Inspiration Spring After a record-setting 2020 gardening season, retailers were really ramping up their merchandising displays this spring with hopes of an even bigger year in 2021. A s things slowly returned to normal in late April and early May, Lawn & Garden Retailer ventured out to several different garden centers to see what retailers were showing off this spring. We made stops at Wallace's Garden Center in Bettendorf, Iowa; Village Green in Rockford, Illinois; and Quality Gardens in Valencia, Pennsylvania to see what they had in store and in their stores for their customers in 2021. Here are a few of the displays and products that caught our eye during our visits. 14 | LAWN & GARDEN RETAILER | JULY 2021
