LICH "Buy Native, It Matters" Poster Survey
The Hawaii Department
of Agriculture promotes locally produced crops with the "Buy Local, It
Matters" posters. LICH is producing along the same lines native plant
poster called "Buy Native, It Matters" The poster is 50% funded by HDOA.
We will be printing the poster as an insert for our 32 page color
magazine which is mailed to 6,000 landscape professionals across the
state. It will be in the September/October issue, which will be themed
with 5-10 native plant stories and information on our annual conference.
We will print some additional posters on an art stock paper for
distribution at our annual conference at the Blaisdell on 10/10/13. The
conference this year will be themed on native species with 15-20
sessions focused on native species. We are anticipating that the
conference will include the first LICH native species design awards
ceremony (work in progress). So Sept/Oct is all about native species
with the poster, magazine, conference and awards.The poster will be
the maximum size that will fit in the magazine, which is 25.5" width by
33" height. It will be full color on the front and back with a spot
gloss coat to make the pictures pop. The front of the poster will be
geared for being displaying in retail establishments for consumers to
choose a native plant instead of a nonnative plant. The back side will
be geared for people growing, installing and maintaining native plants.
The front of the poster will have the words "Buy Native, It Matters" in a prominent size. The front will have 25-35 plant pictures with names and icons. The plants will consist of vines/groundcovers, shrubs, and trees. The icons will be for traits that affect buying decisions - sun/shade, wet/dry, endemic/indigenous, cultural, etc.
The back will have pictures for identification and information on propagating/growing, installing and maintaining. The information will be as succinct as possible for successful applications of native plants.
We have started a list of plants that are available and should be more commonly used and would welcome everyone's comments and the top vines, groundcovers, shrubs and trees. Only 35 will make the poster so choose your favorite plants in each category and suggest others we may have missed.
Plants should be naturally occurring on most islands or have different species on all islands (ie Loulu), be available in the trade and good for commercial and residential use in the urban/suburban environment.
Mahalos!!
