Spring Training for Landscape Professionals
ABOUT SPRING TRAINING
In its third year, this one-day training event for landscape professionals is planned by the Spring Training Committee. We use the feedback gathered during the previous year’s event, as well as insights gained during a bustling season to carefully curate two distinct tracks of education. There is a track focused on the needs of crew members and a second track for owners and managers. We also feature a greenhouse full of suppliers showcasing cutting-edge products, equipment, and services. This event has an attendance of 350 with 21 exhibitors.
