Alison, I hope that that will be my role on the panel discussion. I agree – there are too few blogs out there who create their own content. I am on the advisory board for this conference, and it the issue was raised by a couple of fellow advisory panel members – who wanted to have more manufacturers and products there, but I was impressed at how the company who is planning this conference reacted – they really didn't want to turn the even into a 'sales meeting' ( their words!). I agree. Another blogger retorted with "well, many of us depend on free giveaways and free plants", I replied, " but shouldn't you be creating your own original content". Maybe that's why I was added to the panel discussion. It may be worth checking out to see what happens once I am there! thanks for your note! I also have say that I am amazed at how many products and companies approach me now that I am in the top 15. I must get at least 7-10 emails a day asking for me to accept free product, or to write about a brand. I am very particular about what brands or what products I write about. If I agree to to partner with a brand, it means that I truly support the brand myself.

Is there going to be a presentation or panel discussion at this conference on how NOT to become a shill for the gardening industry? There are a good few bloggers out there who could benefit from that.
