2025 Farwest Show launches Career Boulevard
The 2025 Farwest Show, taking place Aug. 20-22 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon, is introducing a new feature: Career Boulevard.
The new area on the Farwest Show floor is tailored to emerging professionals of any age, from high school students to recent graduates and those looking to change careers. Its purpose is to serve as a gateway into the diverse opportunities the green industry offers in horticulture, landscaping, nursery management and related fields, including education, employment, internships and scholarships.
“Everyone starts somewhere, and the green industry needs new energy from new people now more than ever,” said Jamie Moore, events and education coordinator for the Oregon Association of Nurseries, which produces the show. “This also means that opportunities are in abundance. We saw a need to let people explore all the possibilities, and we knew the best place for that would be Farwest.”
Several schools and organizations will have booths in the Career Boulevard area, including Chemeketa Community College, Clackamas Community College, Oregon State University, the Oregon Department of Agriculture, the Oregon Department of Forestry, and the Oregon Landscape Contractors Board. Additionally, the Horticultural Research Institute (affiliated with AmericanHort) and the Oregon Nurseries Foundation (affiliated with the OAN) will be there.
