ONLINE OPPS

Site looks for budding ideas about new trends or research in the garden industry. Opportunities at http://www.garden.com are sprouting up at the site's "Ideas and Information" section. Editor Doug Jimerson says he wants ideas about any new trend that will be hot for the upcoming season.

A recent story, "Extraordinary Spring Bulbs," included tips on planting "unusual" bulbs this season.

Another opportunity with Garden.com is to get products listed on the site. Jimerson says they post more than 12,000 products, but the catch here is that he won't promote products he doesn't sell. This means you must contact the site's merchandisers in Texas to post products.

For new tools, contact Shannon Mazer, 512/494-2658; for gifts (like garden-related jewelry or clothes) contact Joanna Hatfield at 512/494-2433; and for plant products, Cheri Bailey, 512/494-2114 is your contact.

All feature and news items are emailed to Jimerson at [email protected].
