Green Thumbs Going Greener: The Dominating Trend at Congress 2012
Toronto (January 25, 2012) — From battery powered hedge trimmers, to recycled tires made into mulch, ‘going green’ was definitely the dominating trend for Landscape Ontario’s Congress 2012. Congress is Canada's premier green industry trade show, held recently in Toronto. While most of the exhibitors and attendees of Congress are invested in improving outdoor spaces, this year marked a major shift in the effort to do so in an environmentally friendly way.

“Congress this year definitely marked a significant movement towards the ‘going green’ trend in the lawn and garden industry,” said Congress 2012 show manager Paul Day, C.D.E. “More than 85 products and plant introductions were featured in the New Product Showcase at Congress this year, with many of them boasting the title ‘green’ or ‘environmentally friendly’.”

More than 12,000 visitors passed by the exhibitors at Congress 2012, held at the Toronto Congress Centre January 10 –12, marking a 12.11% increase over last year’s attendance. Show highlights, including high-quality booth displays, hundreds of equipment and product introductions, sector-specific symposiums, and a newly formatted conference featuring owner-only workshops, industry-led round table luncheons and tools to sharpen their skills, left attendees feeling excited and inspired.
Congress is one of the top five North American horticultural, lawn and garden trade shows and a must-attend event for landscape professionals preparing for the 2012 season. They come see all of the hot new products available for the lawn and garden industry. Business owners and operators attend to learn best practices in achieving both personal and professional success, and how to build a profitable business.

“Congress is a great opportunity to network with other people in the industry,” says Tony DiGiovanni, executive director of Landscape Ontario. “The show brings together people from all aspects of the lawn and garden industry, which presents a great platform for new business and new partnerships.”
