The August issue of Digger is your guide to the Farwest Show. You’ll find details on exhibitors, seminars, social events, trade show floor features, tours and much more! Meet us there, August 21­­–23! Also in this issue, our writers share some unexpected picks for ornamental shrubs and creative solutions for ground covers. OAN members Kelleygreen Nursery in Drain, Oregon describe their expertise with Japanese maples. On a macroeconomic level, the nursery market is showing signs of recovery, and we offer business owners some moves to make before the next recession.

In this issue:

  • Green from the ground up: Growers and designers share their top ground cover choices for any situation.
  • Member Profile: Kelleygreen Nursery: A father-and-son team up to grow 300-plus Japanese maple varieties at this out-of-the-way nursery in Oregon’s Coast Range.
  • Growing at the right pace: Nurseries consider strong demand — along with today’s unique expenses and risks — to arrive at balanced growth strategies.
  • Moves to make while the economy is still good: Riding the wave of success is not enough. Here are steps you can take now to fortify your business against a future downturn.
  • Exciting, unusual and underused shrubs: Branch out from the expected recommendations for shrubs that pull together a landscape’s framework.
  • Growing our tomorrow: The Oregon Nurseries Foundation announces its 2019 scholarship recipients, who represent the green industry’s leaders and managers of tomorrow.
