Our 36th Year!

What's New for 2010!
By Dave Hamlen

Its our 36th year and we try to continually do something different each year. You are the reason for this. We do not want Hamlens to become stagnant, but want to make Hamlen's a fun place for you to visit. Here are some of the things we are doing in 2010:

1. In the 1990's we had an advisory board made up of our customers. This board gave us valuable insight as to how we could serve you better. We will have a new board for 2010 and look forward to the ideas they will share to help us improve.

2. New seminars such as "Grapes Gone Wild" and "Don't Bungle In The Jungle" have been added to this years list of seminars. "Grapes Gone Wild" will focus on pruning of small and large fruit. "Don't Bungle In The Jungle" will give tips on how to be more successful with your plants enabling them to grow and flourish. You can pick up a seminar schedule at our store or online www.hamlens.com then click on events.

3. One big change this year will be fresh plants brought in on a more regular basis. In the past we have ordered one large shipment and sold from that shipment throughout the year. Now we will be bringing fresh plants in every 7-21 days, which means fresher plants for you. I feel you will be happier with this change as it will allow more flexibility for plants you may want, but are not in stock.

These are just some of the new changes for 2010. We look forward to seeing you and would like your feedback as to how we are doing. In this way all our customers are advisory board members for Hamlens.
