Garden Media Group Brings Gardening To BlogHer'13

Philadelphia, PA – To introduce the joys of gardening to the ever expanding world of social media, Garden Media Group, the top public relations firm in the outdoor living industry, is exhibiting at the ninth annual BlogHer Conference in Chicago.

BlogHer is the world’s largest conferences for women in social media.  Reaching 92 million U.S. women each month across blogs and social media, BlogHer is the leading cross-platform media network created by, for and with women social media leaders.

In 2012, 5,000 bloggers attended BlogHer ‘12, bringing together social media experts in food, parenting, health and wellness, entertainment, style, social change, politics, technology, and business. This year, Garden Media will be the first company to introduce this important group to a new category – gardening.

“As first time BlogHer sponsors we want to ignite a gardening fever with some of the world’s most influential bloggers who can reach a new audience and share their stories about the joys and rewards of gardening. In today’s noisy marketing space, it’s crucial to capture the attention of leading bloggers,” says Susan McCoy, president of Garden Media.

McCoy continues, “Bloggers are extremely influential. They are the trusted friend to literally hundreds of thousands of potential new gardeners, and BlogHer is the place to get to know them. ”

Garden Media will open its “Garden Shop” July 25 – July 27 at the McCormick Place Chicago. The booth allows attendees to “shop” in a beautiful pop-up tent filled with flowering plants, new garden products, giveaways, and educational materials on gardening, including top gardening trends.

“With 25 years of experience in public relations, we know the importance of connecting with media influencers on a personal level. Developing meaningful and beneficial relationships at BlogHer ’13 will help us reach more people and get them into gardening,” adds McCoy.
