Help PLNA Promote Your Industry and Its Benefits
to over 500,000 Consumers at the 2016 PA Farm Show
PLNA’s display at the 2016 Pennsylvania Farm Show has two purposes; to educate the consumer about the green
industry’s contribution to agriculture in Pennsylvania and to showcase PLNA members. But we can’t do it
without your help. We are asking members to step up with plant donations.
Plant Donations
Our display topic is Sustainable Landscapes. The display incorporates various sustainable concepts including a
rain barrel and rain chain, permeable paver patio, rain garden, vegetated retaining wall, vegetated swale and
riparian zones with a stream. Accordingly, we need plants that work well in these installations and the members
are the best place to obtain those plants. The display area is 90’ by 20’, just to give you a point of reference as to
how important the plant material is to the display’s visual impact. We are looking for approximately 1200 plants.
Each member company who provides the plants will be recognized both at the display and also on
OutdoorLivingPA.com. Attached is a list of plants needed for the various areas. If you have any of these plants
and are willing to donate and/or lend them to PLNA for the display, please complete the form below. Please
respond as quickly as possible so we can monitor our progress. We are looking for dormant plants. So please, if
you have the inventory and haven’t dead-headed or cut back, please don’t. These are the elements we are
looking for in the display.
We will be collecting the plant material mid to late December. Further instructions as to shipping, etc. will be
provided closer to that time.
