		Energy and inspiration at Congress I believe in Congress — it connects people with each other, with education and with suppliers. It’s the best way to show our young people that landscaping is proud and professional! My fellow volunteers on the Congress Committee can’t wait to see the 2020 attractions, including Recruit LIVE, the new patio lounge, axe throwing and an expanded Ale Trail. I urge you to make plans to come, browse the events and register today.
