“Each year I attend at least one Landscape Industry Show. I'll buddy up with another designer pal or two and make a day of it. There are always seminars on a wide variety of topics and walking the show is an opportunity to get inspiration from new vendors and their products as well as give a face to face hello to people I have been working with for years….and see what new plunder  they have been working on. I often leave with samples, new catalogues and thinking I would have enjoyed more time.

The LIS show in Ontario is around the corner! And if you do see one of our California chapter sponsors there, don’t forget to let them know you are a member of APLD and you appreciate their support.”
