Making the Change to Organic Landscaping

Wednesday, February 8 at 6:00 pm in the Adams Room

Saturday, February 11 at 2:00 pm in the Adams Room

Landscape professionals are becoming more environmentally conscious with the impacts of continuing education, regulation and client demand. Find out how companies are making this shift, the misconceptions within the trades and the benefits of reorganizing your company as a naturally based alternative to the competition. Do you want to be part of an organization that promotes least-impact methods, IPM and natural process horticulture? Join us as we assemble a panel of representatives from a variety of landscape and building trade organizations to discuss stepping out of the mainstream and into a real stream (of consciousness).
