The landscaping industry has experienced tremendous growth for many years, providing several economic benefits to society, especially with regards to employment. However, the industry provides many other social benefits beyond the economic measurement such as environmental, community pride, lifestyle, tourism and recreation.
The landscaping industry is currently positioned for continued future growth because of the many social trends that are occurring such as aging baby boomers interested in garden and garden-related activities during retirement, the return of staycations and the rising concern for the environment. Therefore, moving forward, the landscape industry is fostering strategic alliances with other business professionals to act on these social trends and work towards professional development.
At Congress 2010, a three-day horticultural, lawn and garden tradeshow taking place Jan. 12-14 at the Toronto Congress Centre, Landscape Ontario is partnering with the Ontario Parks Association, Communities in Bloom – Ontario and the Canadian Fence Industry Association as well as the aquatic leisure industry as a means of creating a one-stop buying and networking experience for business professionals.
Landscape Ontario’s Congress 2010 attracts more than 500 exhibitors, many of whom will be showcasing new and green products. Congress 2010 is Canada’s largest horticultural, lawn and garden tradeshow and conference.
The Ontario Parks Association will be running their annual Explorations 2010 trade show in conjunction with Congress 2010. The 17th annual parks, grounds and recreation facilities trade show is dedicated to showcasing products and services related to parks and green spaces sectors.
