 Background:

Natural Products Expo West (NPEW) is the largest show of its kind in the USA.
Held each March in Anaheim, California the 2004 event was held March 4-7.
The expo offers a premier industry trade show as well as business seminars and entertainment.  Many natural product companies exhibit.  Buyers come from
all over the world.   


ANAHEIM, CA–(March 8, 2004) — No longer a niche, natural and organic products
continue to soar. The 23rd annual Natural Products Expo West, which took place here March 4 – 7, demonstrated the seemingly unstoppable growth of the natural products industry in the United States. More than 2,500 exhibitors and 36,000 attendees from 86 countries crowded the Anaheim Convention Center to display or shop for the latest food, beverage, supplement and personal care items. More than 13,000 retailer/buyers attended the tradeshow, which is an increase of 18 percent over the previous year’s show. -- New Hope Natural Media

 Enchanted Garden Seed Dreams
for the NPEW:
__


The Natural Food Industry is growing by leaps and bounds.  
My Seed Dream is that its Heart and Soul keep pace with
this fast growth.  The roots of the natural products industry
lies in Nature.  The Heart and Soul behind the industry is to
provide products and produce grown from wholesome foods to feed humanity.  

My Seed Dream is that the Expression of Heart and Soul
at NPEW will grow through continued Enchanted Garden presence
at the Expo.  I intend to use my Photography and Press Credentials
 to identify and celebrate individuals who are expressing Heart and Soul
at the show.  I intend, in every way possible to inspire
nature contact at the Expo through bringing in a live plant presence.

Through poetry offered in various venues, and through seminar offerings,
through creating allies within the show, my intent is to express and
model heart and soul, acknowledge this in others, and function
as an Enchanted Gardener at the  show.  I will continue to contribute
Heart and Soul stories to the publications of New Hope Natural Media.

My intent is that Heart and Soul at NPEW  will grow
 through the use of Enchanted Garden Photos
in various publications, stories in print,
 and suggested programming for the show.

I will continue to establish Enchanted Garden Installations
i.e, altar sites at various places to  enhance this presence,
and share my network and teaching skills, with children and adults,
 whenever possible.
