Message from the President ]

Washington State Nursery & Landscape Association

The WSNLA community is an outstanding resource that can provide mutual benefits for us all.

Gregory Smaus, CPH, EPC WSNLA President Rock Solid Landscapes, Seattle provide mutual benefits for us all.

I am honored and excited to be able to serve in this position. Honored to be able to represent all of you creative, intelligent, professionals working in this horticulture community. I have been involved in WSNLA for many years and I am continually impressed with the problem solving, idea generating, thoughtful, curious, and engaged board that we have.

I am excited by the community that we are generating right now. WSNLA is part of a regional and national community of horticulture. For a recent talk with a class at the Lake WA institute of Technology, I started a list of the WSNLA community.

Even after so many years on the board, it is surprising to see how engaged we are in the community.

As a craftsman, I see everything as a resource; to learn from or utilize; to bring together and make something more; to get information or new ideas from; to use as efficiently as possible. As an ecoPRO, I seek to build my resources and leave them healthier, stronger, more informed than they were before. The WSNLA community is an outstanding resource that can 4 - The B&B Magazine

Here are some of the community resources that WSNLA is part of; the AmericanHort Lighthouse Program, Plant Something, WSNLA Scholarship and Research Charitable Fund. We have members serving on other committees throughout the area on behalf of WSNLA; WA Invasive Species Council, WSDA Nursery Advisory Committee, WA State Commission on Pesticide Regulation, and WA Community Forestry Council. WSNLA is now the sole stake holder for the ecoPRO program. The ecoPRO Steering Committee and Technical Committee have members from WSU extension, Seattle Public Utilities, Cascade Water Alliance, NW Center for Alternative to Pesticides, Thurston County Public Health, WA DOT, City of Seattle, Edmonds Community College, King County, Pierce County Parks plus local landscape and nursery businesses. Certified Professional Horticulturist’s do not have to be regular members of WSNLA. This group too is another part of our community!

I look forward to reaching out to these resources in the coming months and seeing how we can work together to improve the way we work, the way we communicate and how visible we

are to the public. I have already heard great suggestions due to Kirsten Lints (Gardens Alive Design) service on the WA Community Forestry Council. I am sure we can learn from the other committees as well.

The B&B Magazine is a great resource for new information such as scientific research on plant pests and diseases, or new ways to market during the pandemic.

It highlights member businesses and keeps us current on bills pending in Olympia.

In this edition, we will be learning about another new resource WSNLA is providing; www.findplantspnw.com. This is our new plant locator guide, online! Its purpose is connecting our community with the plant resources we need, how cool is that?

(Turn to page 17 to learn more!) We are also going to be learning about new plant introductions. I love reading about these, then seeing them perform in gardens. It is a great joy to find a new option for a shady fence line or a boggy area (fingers crossed!)

As president of WSNLA, I am excited to bring our resources together to make the most of our horticulture community here in the Pacific Northwest. If you would like to play a larger role in this community, never hesitate to reach out to Breanne or myself. Happy Spring!

Breanne Chavez WSNLA Executive Director Spring is here!! Wow, the first quarter of 2021 has been yet another wild ride. Our first ever

virtual Annual Meeting seems like a lifetime ago. Members are experiencing record sales and demand for services. In Olympia, Heather has been keeping you abreast of bills with potential impacts to your business.

All of this occuring before Spring kicks off and you dive deeper into servicing your customers and clients. As you make this transition, here is an update on what WSNLA has been doing and will continue to do throughout the season: Labor – Supporting You In Growing the Team You Need We know labor continues to be a challenge for all segments of the industry. In early March, WSNLA hosted a virtual Job Fair to help you get the word out about current employment opportunities. Fifty-one listings that spanned all sectors of the nursery and landscape industry were promoted internally to the WSNLA Community and broadly throughout Washington State.

The virtual Job Fair received high engagement, and we have received positive feedback from some employers on connections and hiring acquisitions made.

Heather Hansen WSNLA Lobbyist

February 15 was policy committee cutoff in the Washington State Legislature. That won’t mean much to most readers, but for lobbyists, it’s the day the legislative session goes from utter chaos to some semblance of focus. Any bill that has not passed out of its policy committee dies and the bill tracking list becomes much shorter. Of course, nothing in the legislative process is that simple. Bills with significant financial consequences are exempt from cutoff and dead bills can come back to life according to the wish of leadership.

Several themes have emerged during this legislative session. There are numerous bills focused on equity, not only in policing, but also in various government program including agricultural and environmental programs. There are four different strategies for dealing with carbon working their way through the process and numerous new taxes. There are also a plethora of labor bills, some as a result of COVID, some not.

Proposals for new taxes include an income tax on capital gains, a wealth tax, an increased estate tax, a carbon tax and a tax on health insurance. State revenue has

continued to grow during the pandemic.

State revenues are expected to climb an additional 7% over the next two-year budget period under the current tax system so many legislators are questioning why we need new taxes.

In addition to new taxes, the cost of doing business in Washington could increase due to increases in the cost of fuel from the low carbon fuel standard or the cap and trade program moving through the legislature. Increasing the cost of fuel increases the cost of all goods due to transportation.

The pandemic helped spark many labor bills this year. SB 5061, a bill intended to increase benefits for unemployed workers flew through the legislature and was signed by the Governor. It will help employers by delaying an increase in unemployment insurance rates. Because of massive unemployment caused by the pandemic, the unemployment insurance tax would have increased by $1.7 billion from 2021 to 2025 without legislative action. Employers will still have to pay the full cost, just stretched out over several years. Some legislators hoped for more relief for employers since the unemployment was beyond their control.

Multiple bills would make it easier to qualify for unemployment for people who voluntarily quit their job. People who are high-risk, or live with someone who is high-risk, would be able to get unemployment benefits if they can’t work from home. Those who cannot find childcare would also qualify for

Leaders in Advocacy:

Why Grassroots Advocacy Matters & Easy Ways You Can Get Involved WSNLA Is Your Industry Advocate. For over 80 years, WSNLA has been

advocating for member businesses and the industry in Olympia, across Washington State and nationally in DC. Relationships, locally and nationally, built over the longterm support these efforts. At the heart of these efforts is the collective voice of member businesses that shape the face of the industry, and working together to voice concerns or support on issues with impacts to our business.

unemployment.

Plastic packaging is an issue likely to be on the radar for several years to come. Many people are concerned about the volume of plastic in the waste stream. There are varying ideas about how to deal with it. As defined in current bills, plastic pots, trays and tags would be considered packaging.

One approach is to make the producer responsible for the cost of collecting and disposing of plastic. This would increase the price you pay for plants in pots and for supplies. Another approach is to require all plastic that comes into the state to contain recycled content. This would create a market for recycled plastic but would also increase costs. At this time, I don’t expect either to pass this year, but I am certain they will be back.

SB 5253 would implement the recommendations of the pollinator health task force. The bill was amended in committee to add language requiring WSDA to report to the legislature recommendations to mitigate the risks of harm to bees and other pollinators from the use of neonicotinoid insecticides.

The bill also makes the Pollinator Health Task Force permanent, requires WSDA to develop voluntary protocols to increase communication between beekeepers and pesticide applicators and requires WSDA to submit a plan for a pollinator health strategy to the Legislature by December 31, 2021.

We are past the time for new bills to be introduced, but it’s far too soon to know the fate of most of the bills currently before the legislature. Stay tuned.

Help Your Elected Officials Help You The best way to get involved is to get to know your legislators and other local and state officials. You can do this by arranging a meeting to introduce yourself. For legislators this is best scheduled during the months between sessions when they are home. Also, keep in mind that legislators relay heavily on the professional staff for information gathering and analysis. You can play an equally supportive role by making sure staff are aware of the perspective your personal knowledge and experience can provide. Legislative staff work on a wide range of issues. They always appreciate new sources of clear and accurate information, and they can provide you with the most current information they have. Keep in mind that advocacy happens on all levels, it is valuable to build relationships with your local leaders such as your Mayor and Council members, or key contacts at state agencies your business works with regularly.

Here are some more ideas for you: Send an email or write a letter: Be sure your communications are brief, to the point, clear and formal. Include your name and mailing address, as well as your e-mail address, and let the legislator know how you’d prefer to be contacted.

Testify Before Committee: Make sure your views and positions are heard by testifying in front of a committee or council that is having a public hearing on an issue or bill. This year testifying is made even easier, as you can do so virtually via zoom.

Attend a Town Hall or City Council Meeting: These events, currently happening virtually, are a great way to learn more about current issues, voice your opinion and get to know your local and state leaders.

When in person opportunities open back up: Schedule a Personal Visit or Extend an Invite to Tour Your Business: Call the office to introduce yourself, tell the legislator or the legislative assistant what you would like to discuss, and make an appoint for a visit. If you plan to visit, be prepared for your discussion. Know what you want to say, be factual, and make your comments as brief and specific as possible.

Extending an invite to tour your business is an effective way to educate local and state representatives about your business, it’s unique elements, challenges and positive impacts on community.

With strength in numbers, WSNLA is dedicated to working for your business.
