Cypress Bend Resort’s New Greenhouse Inspires a "Green Thumb" Among Meeting Attendees

Many, LA, January 26, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Groups meeting at Louisiana’s Cypress Bend Resort, just 70 miles south of Shreveport, can visit the property’s new greenhouse complete with hands-on gardening demonstrations by Cathy McCurdy, the resort’s veteran horticulturist.

Within the large greenhouse, McCurdy will lead discussions on landscape design, maintenance and care of indoor plants. In addition to sharing her at-home gardening tips, McCurdy will demonstrate pruning techniques for trees and shrubs, cutting for plant propagation, floral arranging and more.
Greenhouse and grounds tours led by McCurdy are available upon request to all groups meeting at Cypress Bend Resort.

“Over the years, meeting planners have asked me to speak to their attendees on various gardening topics,” said McCurdy. “This subject has universal application and isn’t just for gardening clubs or horticultural organizations.”

Located on 650 acres and fronting Toledo Bend Lake, Cypress Bend Resort constructed the 840 square-foot greenhouse to improve its environmental sustainability by providing a constant supply of flowers, bedding plants and shrubs. Plans for a vegetable and herb garden are also underway.
