This September, ANLA and OFA are hosting a series of grassroots education events. Three one-day events are taking place in Connecticut, Michigan and New Jersey allowing easy access by car. OFA CEO Michael Geary will join ANLA executive vice president Bob Dolibois, vice president of government relations Craig Regelbrugge, and director of research Marc Teffeau for a briefing on key legislative and regulatory issues facing the industry right now.

Kip Creel, President of StandPoint, will present new research on what America’s population demographics mean to the future of the green industry and our prospects for economic recovery.

Each event will also include greenhouse and nursery tours and a casual barbecue in the evening. “Come as you are,” says Greg Schaan, CEO of the Connecticut event host site, Imperial Nurseries. “This is a chance for industry leaders in each area to spend a day together touring, swapping notes, learning about the serious challenges facing our business, all over a burger and refreshments.”

The three events are scheduled for: Imperial Nurseries in Granby, Connecticut_, Sept. 7; Spring Meadow Nursery Inc. in Grand Haven, Michigan, Sept. 19; and Overdevest Nurseries in Bridgeton, New Jersey_, Sept. 28.
