Plants need PR, too!

Who would think that plants would need the services and expertise of public relations? If you’re one of those that think plants don’t need PR, then it’s time to rethink!

The wonderful folks at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture park have asked me to join them for the next few months as the public relations intern. I’ve been working there for about a month, and couldn’t be happier (unless they hired me, of course!).

So what kind of plant PR do I do? Funny you should ask. It’s actually quite a busy media relations hub down there in the basement of the beautiful galleries. I just finished pitching the Orchid Show last weekend. I got some good response from local TV media as well as a few print media. We even made Gonzo’s Daily Top Five for the weekend.

More to come on plant PR!
