Garden Expo

The Garden Expo re-introduction into Congress was exciting and resulted in a resurgence in the number of retail attendees. The response to the change was so positive that the show-within-a-show will be repeated at Congress 2018. The excitement and energy for retailers will increase with the introduction of a feature created and sponsored by Landscape Ontario's growers. Garden Centre focused education as well as recognition of the leading garden centres and growers will continue to be an integral part of the show and the horticultural value chain.
