Winners include: First Place: Paddington Station in Ashland, OR; Second Place: Linders Greenhouses in St. Paul, MN and Third Place: The Garden Hut in Fuquay Varnia, NC. Winners were acknowledged during the winter home and gift markets, and received Midwest-CBK merchandise credits.

“We are proud to showcase and share with the industry the talents of these successful independent retailers, who clearly excel in creativity and uniqueness of retail display and merchandising,” says Midwest-CBK President Frederic Contino. “The entries are becoming more creative, original and eye-catching every year, proving the continued importance of retail display in driving traffic and ultimately sales for independent retail business.”
