MELNA President Mark Pendergast
A Message From the President:
by Mark Pendergast, Salmon Falls Nursery
It’s hard to believe, but by the time everyone gets this newsletter, we will be into the Fall Season. I always find it amazing how quick it can come. Tis will be our final push to the end of 2011 to make this year as profitable as possible. Over the past few months, I have had the privilege of meeting many of you as well as landscapers and growers from around the region. My feeling is that the economy has begun to
stabilize and is better than many of us had predicted. I hope that this is true for all of you and we are all able to have successful year. With all of this in mind, let’s go into this fall
with renewed optimism and excitement. With hard work, we all can make this season a successful one. Good luck and enjoy!
Sincerely, Mark Pendergast
