"Chihuly in the Garden" will showcase spectacular glass art — floating in pools, suspended in air, and dotting a lush landscape with pink roses and blue and white azaleas — at the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
The exhibit, featuring 20 installations composed of several hundred pieces of colorful glass, opens Saturday and runs through Oct. 30.

Grower Talks
Do you ever wish you had greenhouse space available for just one more crop to extend your selling season and enhance your sales? You may already have the space you need! A lot of resources are focused on production for the peak spring sales season; crops move from propagation to growing on to finish. Often, that means physically moving product from one greenhouse to another and then filling the open space you've created with your next crop.

I'm an unapologetic plant collector, a nerd of chlorophyllic proportions. I can tell you what time of year it is based on what kind of plants populate my Facebook newsfeed on any given week. I prefer to think of winter as the time of year when snowdrops, hellebores, and hepaticas entertain my spring-hungry mind as waves of feverish collectors around the globe post photos of the plants they covet, obtain, and adore.

It's May and right now the vast majority of you are far more worried about getting plants off the trucks and onto the bench than checking your P&L. I get it. You don't need a reminder that this is the time to make as much money as you can.
But (c'mon, it'd be an awfully short column if there wasn't a but) I'd like to take a quick minute to talk about that bottom line and the impact that buying and selling has on it.

American Nurseryman
It's a puzzlement. Not being a scientist myself — and having done my best in school to avoid anything science-related — I find in later years that I'm oddly drawn to scientific topics. Don't get me started on the Manhattan Project; I've become inexplicably obsessed with the life of Robert Oppenheimer and the development of the atomic bomb.

"As if being 1984 weren't enough." Thomas Pynchon, writing in The New York Times Book Review, marked the unnerving year with an honest question about seemingly dystopian technology: "Is It OK to Be a Luddite?" The Association of American Publishers records that by 1984, between 40 and 50 percent of American authors were using word processors.

I have a complicated relationship with to-do lists. They are undeniably useful for plotting out your day or week ahead of time, and they can be a great way to hold yourself accountable for getting things done. But they are designed to remind you of all the things you haven't done. As soon as you cross off one task, another one or two or 10 await you.

"If you're a journalist, show me a damn story," said multi-award winning journalist and producer Scott Rensberger to delegates of MojoCon, the mobile journalism conference organized by RTE, speaking in a workshop.
He highlighted that regardless of the new technologies or new forms of production available to reporters nowadays, journalists must remember that the story "is still everything."

Email was once so fresh it was the central theme of a '90s cult-classic love story. These days, "You've Got Mail" feels more anxiety-inducing thriller than rom-com. But the feeling of angst, wondering when the human on the other end of the keyboard will write you back, has gotten only worse, not just because of the deluge factor and the multiple inboxes, but also because there are so many other ways to, ugh, "stay connected" (we're looking at you, Slack).

You may not expect this, but I like James Robinson's recent memo about clear cutting the copy desk at the Bay Area News Group.
Why? It shows that Robinson, the managing editor for content at the newspaper group, is aware of the ramifications of the decision. And instead of just pretending that life can go on as normal without copy editors, he's giving his staff priorities to focus on.

A year ago from today, I was creatively dead. Frustrated. Coming off of three years as a freelance copywriter, being the father of an almost 2-year-old, and the husband of a wife who was in the throes of starting her own ed consulting business — I was exhausted.
I was taking work as it came in. Hustling, squabbling over rates, and trying to collect on long past-due invoices. I can feel the knots in my stomach to this day.

The Toast
Recently, Entertainment Weekly ran a piece about debut novels with six-figure advances and why publishers are willing to take big financial risks on (relative) literary unknowns. The answer is, among other things, "because they believe they will make even more money later," but the part that really leapt out at me was this. "We would have paid her the same money if she weighed 500 pounds and was really hard to look at."

The feed is dying. The reverse-chronological social media feed — the way you've read Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and blogs (which is to say, the internet) at various points over the last decade, updates organized according to the time they were posted, refreshed at the top of the screen — no longer really makes sense. The unfiltered informational cascade that defined the internet of the 2010s is going the way of the front-page-style web portal.

Tech Connect
It was great while it lasted, but social networking is going away.
The idea was that you could sign up for a social network like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, Flickr or Reddit and connect with old friends and acquaintances, make new ones or even interact with strangers.
Except that Twitter was really a "micro-blogging" site, LinkedIn was about finding a job, Pinterest was a pinboard site, Instagram and Flickr were photo-sharing sites, Tumblr was a social-blogging platform, Reddit was a social bookmarking site and who knows what Google+ ever was?
