Spring is here - at least indoors

The Indiana Flower and Patio Show opens today at the Indiana State Fair Grounds. This is the 51st Annual show which will run through the 22nd in the West Pavilion. It's been fun blogging for the show, meeting exhibitors, and running contests for free tickets. What does the show have to do with Hartman Inventory? On the surface, you would guess 'nothing'.

However, there are plenty of items that must be logged on your inventory that are outside - grills, patio furniture, playscapes ... and think of all the items you store in your barn or storage building. Additionally, we also include photographs with our written report. Though not part of the the contents, as an extra we provide to our customers, we take photos of the entire property so they have photographs of their landscaping as well as the structure. Why? Because few people take those photos. And when you have a fire or tornado, these pictures will help you remember when filing the homeowners insurance claim.

So, back to the show...visit the booths and the gardens to see new products, learn about unique services, and say hello to the exhibitors. Some of these exhibitors have been featured in my blog posts:

Greensketch Designs
Mister Quick Electric
Bergman Design & Irrigation
Noble of Indiana
Old Bob's
Stonycreek Farm Nursery & Landscaping

Two of my blog posts also offered some advice to exhibitors and attendees (I've been both) to make the time at the show more enjoyable and beneficial for all.

Though it's cold outside, you can feel, touch and smell spring at the show. Want details?

Hope to see you there. Leave a comment after your visit.
