Description
It's the plant that many customers want to grow, and every year more states are making home Cannabis cultivation legal. This talk is for Landscapers and IGC's who want to assist these growers, while staying within their state guidelines and respecting the emotional responses from others. C.L. Fornari has been teaching outdoor Cannabis growing at Hyannis Country Garden, a family-owned IGC, for seven years, and she shares what she's learned about creating educational or consultation programs around this plant. Discover what your customers need to know for success with Cannabis. Hear about the common problems home growers face and the products or practices for helping them. Learn how to serve home Cannabis growers while not upsetting those who still equate this plant with opioids. And hear how to navigate the tricky waters of helping customers grow the plant, without giving medical or recreational drug advice.
