2/22/2012

        Near record crowds took advantage of the mild winter as 12,877 green industry professionals came to New England Grows 2012 on February 1 - 3. This popular trade show and conference for growers, garden center retailers, arborists and landscape professionals celebrated its 20th anniversary with a 24 percent increase in attendance over 2011.

        Attendees crowded the aisles to see nearly 600 industry suppliers, including 63 new exhibiting firms. Also popular on the trade show floor were ongoing educational presentations at the Great Ideas Pavilion and the new Expo Classroom. Throughout all three days these forums provided information-packed presentations in a more intimate, ask-the-experts setting.

        Seminars focused on great plants for this region, design and innovation, emerging trends, new pests and the latest research often attracted standing-room-only crowds.

        New England Grows supports the green industry through annual grants to the region's Cooperative Extension Systems.This year $25,000 was awarded to cooperative extension programs in the region.

        Next year, New England Grows is scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, February 6-8, 2013 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. For the latest information visit www.NewEnglandGrows.org, follow New England Grows on Facebook and Twitter, or call 508-653-3009.
