Who, When, Where
For industry professionals and general public.
Plant Industry Folks
250+ horticulture, landscape and restoration professionals will attend from throughout Florida. One in five will be a landscape architect or designer. Expect to see wholesale growers, retail nurseries, garden centers, environmental and landscape professionals, and staff from municipalities and public agencies.
Plant-Loving Public
By popular demand, we’ve expanded our program to offer special sessions just for the public: master gardeners, native plant enthusiasts and the property owner who wants a more sustainable, enjoyable and lower-maintenance landscape. PLUS a public plant sale both days.
Bradenton Area Convention Center
Beautiful modern event facility just three miles west of Interstate 75 between Sarasota and Tampa, in Palmetto — just across the river from downtown Bradenton. Free plentiful parking just a short walk from the entrance.
Bradenton is a family-friendly small city just south of Tampa on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Historic walkable downtown is 5 minutes from the convention center.
