Some changes around here

We've been making incremental changes to Lawn & Landscape all year, but chose this month to roll out some of the best.

Chuck Bowen, Editor Things are starting to look a lot different around here. It’s not just the leaves on the trees, but in the printed and digital pages of this magazine. We’ve been making incremental changes to Lawn & Landscape all year, but chose this month to roll out some of the best.

You’ve already seen our new website, which we continue to load up with daily headlines, multimedia and other content. And in the print issue, you’ll see these new additions.
  • Business segment icons – We’ve added icons on our Table of Contents pages to help you quickly identify which stories apply to you.
  • Online Table of Contents – This new section gives you an overview of the best new content – including headlines, videos and podcasts – on our website and others.
  • Industry Insight – We want to hear from you. This short section poses broad questions about news and events impacting small businesses.
  • Good Works – This section highlights community service projects. Send yours to Associate Editor Brian Horn at bhorn@gie.net.
  • Ask the Experts – Draw on the expertise of PLANET’s Trailblazer network to solve problems in your business. Send your questions to llexperts@gie.net.
  • Columnists – We’ve redesigned and repackaged our columns, adding technology expert Jeff Korhan to our group of industry-leading voices Marty Grunder, Jim Huston and John Ossa. Each month, they’ll all offer their perspective on one subject that cuts across the entire green industry.
And you can expect even more from us in the coming months. We’re rolling out a standalone product e-newsletter this month, and starting in January, we’ll be launching segment-specific e-newsletters focusing on lawn care, design/build, plants and irrigation. If you want to get on those lists, send me an e-mail at cbowen@gie.net.

But even with all these tweaks to Lawn & Landscape, one thing hasn’t changed: At the end of the day, our goal is still to help you run your business better. The information you find in these pages, in our e-newsletters and on our website is there to help you. So, if there’s something that would help you more, let me know. Send me an e-mail or call me at 330-523-5330.
