Dreams & Solutions: Green Industry Winter Forum

The Dreams & Solutions: Green Industry Winter Forum is an engaging event designed for professionals in the green industry, including nursery professionals, landscape contractors, fine gardeners, designers, land managers, tree care professionals, and turf experts. Hosted at the Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center in Marlborough, this forum brings together skilled speakers from New England and beyond to share their knowledge about horticulture and the living landscape in Massachusetts. Attendees can expect to gain insights from Massachusetts Certified Horticulturists (MCH), who are recognized for their expertise in the field, having dedicated significant time to learning and qualifying as professionals. In addition to expert speakers, the forum highlights several exhibitors, such as Dave's Natural Garden from Granby, Rogers Spring Hill Garden & Farm Center from Haverhill, Hart Farm Nursery from Dennis Port, Soares Flower Garden Nursery from East Falmouth, and Ward’s Nursery & Garden Center from Great Barrington. These exhibitors represent a dynamic community driven by a passion for enhancing local environments and supporting community gardens. The event also promotes initiatives like Plant Something MA, a project of the Massachusetts Nursery and Landscape Association (MNLA), which encourages the involvement of professional environmental horticulturists to design, install, and maintain plantings and landscapes in local areas. Additionally, the forum supports the Growing Wild initiative, aimed at reversing biodiversity loss and protecting endangered species, making it a valuable event for those interested in sustainable practices and community enhancement.
