We had incredible few days last week in Ohio at one of the country’s leading horticulture conventions. AmericanHort, the leading national association for the green industry, hosted Cultivate—the premier event for the entire green industry—at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Cultivate is known to attract thousands of industry professionals and visitors from all over the United States and the world.
Our team was busy visiting with associates and going to sessions focused on research and development, marketing, professional growth, management, leadership, pesticides, production, building customer and employee relationships, social media, new products and plants, and so much more. Throughout the event, there are educational sessions that allow everyone to gain knowledge and experiences from our industry partners. Cultivate allows us to hear others speak who are in the same industry with the same or similar experiences and allow us to grow and bring a different perspective and new ideas back to better serve our customers, employees, and colleagues at the nursery and in our community.
This event is always a great opportunity to reconnect with industry partners, colleagues, associates, growers, salespeople, and friends from across the horticulture industry. Our industry is full of amazing people with innovative ideas and experiences. Cultivate is such a great experience as we are able to catch up with so many new people industry wide and friends to share ideas and have meaningful dialogues with them. The horticulture industry is a special one and whether you are a newbie or a lifetime member, Cultivate is the best place to share your experiences and learn from others. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings.
Here are some photos of new and amazing plants that were introduced this year on the convention floor. We will be carrying many of these next year and can’t wait to share them.
