Petitti Garden Centers’ Noelle Clark Akin is featured speaker at Home & Garden Show

As the temperatures warm and we see more of the sun each day we are motivated to get ourselves and our homes ready for the rejuvenating feeling of spring and summer! What better way to get in the mood than by attending the 71st annual Stark County Home & Garden Show!

The 2022 Stark County Home & Garden Show is March 11–13 at the Stark County Fairgrounds. No matter the age or condition of the interior or exterior of your property, there is something unique, affordable and practical for everyone who attends.

On Friday, March 11 at 3 p.m. we have a special presentation:

Garden Trends for 2022, by Noelle Clark Akin, Director of Communications and Education for Petitti Garden Centers. In this presentation Noelle will introduce some of the best annuals, perennials, and shrubs that are must-have plants for your garden or landscape.

With over 22 years in the Green Industry, Noelle Clark Akin has instructed and assisted gardeners all over Northeast Ohio through her work in Petitti Garden Centers’ retail stores. Outside speaking engagements, filling in for Angelo Petitti in his absence on his WEWS Channel 5 television segments and weekly WTAM radio show and educating gardeners on YouTube has made Noelle an expert in her field.

In 1996, Noelle received her Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Environmental Science from Wittenberg University. From college, she pursued her dream of working with plants by joining Petitti Garden Centers as the perennial department manager for the Oakwood Village store.

In 1999, Noelle left Petitti’s to assume the Supervisor of Horticulture position at Sea World/Six Flags Ohio. In 2002, Noelle returned to Petitti Garden Centers as director of communications and education. Her responsibilities include the development and instruction of adult and children gardening classes, seminars, hands-on activities, as well as training Petitti Garden Centers’ associates at all nine retail locations.

She is continually researching, creating and composing Petitti’s plant tags, website content, gardening guides, and other educational materials to be used in print and on social media, reaching more than 100,000 Petitti customers on a weekly basis.
