It's About Thyme Farms is a 2009 Proven Winners Certified Garden Center. Through the
iGarden program, the owners and employees are provided with plant selling tips, customer
service tools and merchandising techniques to help them better serve consumers in helping

As a 2009 Certified Garden Center, It's About Thyme Farms employees successfully completed
a video training program and test, which evaluated their plant knowledge, customer service
skills and merchandising techniques. This comprehensive training program includes
demonstrations and recommendations on how to enhance a customer's experience at every
touch point – from the layout of their store to answering questions about plant performance,
characteristics and care.
According to Marshall Dirks, Director of Marketing for Proven Winners, "A knowledgeable sales
staff increases the chances consumers have for success with their plant purchases. Through
the iGarden program, Proven Winners can provide employees the resources they need to
become an invaluable asset to their customers."
