Congress: Ten acres and a million stories

The horticulture profession gathers next week for Landscape Ontario’s Congress trade show. This is one of Canada’s top ten shows, and a wonderful opportunity to energize audiences — whether your beat is general or B2B.

  • Featured speakers include superstar landscape architect Thomas Rainer, hardscape pro Frank Bourque, Angry Planet host George Kourounis, Breakfast TV’s Frank Ferragine, Mark Bradley of Landscape Management Network, garden coach Christina Salwitz, edible gardening guru Niki Jabbour and many others. Congress Conference offers a unique opportunity to meet and interview international experts.
  • See new products and technology on display at the New Products Showcase. Whatever catches your eye, more info is available from a Congress exhibitor.
  • Catch the top-flight Awards of Excellence ceremony on Jan. 8. You will be amazed by the creativity, skill and scope of the landscapes, and we can assist with photos for all projects, as well as interview contacts.
  • Fresh talent: Students from Niagara Parks School of Horticulture as well as Humber, Fanshawe and Durham Colleges build stunning gardens at Congress; their stories inspire.
