******************************
What is a “Global Warming Mum?”
•Typically, mums are “annuals.” That means growers must buy new ones and plant them each fall, when mums grow.
•The Global Warming Mum is a “perennial.” Plant it in the ground once, and enjoy it season after season. Buying a mum that we only need to plant once puts less stress on our environment.
Helping bees: Global Warming Mums are a good, late fall food source for bees, because…
•Global Warming Mums bloom late – well into November.
•Vermont’s fall temperatures can be higher than 55 degrees.
•And bees fly and feed at temperatures of 55 and above.
Less plastic
•The pot that holds the Global Warming Mum says “Circle of Life.” (www.circleoflifeplants.com)
•This pot is biodegradable. Plant it into the ground, then break it apart to let the roots grow, and it will disappear over time.
•This is important, considering the U.S. makes about 30 million tons of plastic containers every year.
No peat
•VOR’s (Vermont Organics Reclamation) Global Warming Mums also contain VOR’s soils, which do not have peat. Peat is a carbon that comes from the ground. We have global warming, because there is too much carbon in the air. VOR keeps peat out of its products to keep it in the ground, where it belongs.
