Welcome to Landscape Ontario’s EXPO 2013! 

If you purchase, approve, design, or merchandise for the green industry, then you should attend EXPO Garden and Floral Show.

At EXPO 2013, Garden & Floral Expo, the spotlights will be brightly focused on the plants, flowers, exquisitely merchandised displays and educational opportunities that will capture your imagination, excite your senses and provide you with the retail marketing inspiration to adapt them to your store or garden centre. The Landscape Ontario EXPO Garden and Floral Expo is the venue where people from every aspect of the floriculture/horticulture industry come together to network, learn and do business together.  It’s the perfect place to find the new ideas, products, tools, services and connections you need to build and grow your business!

New ideas + New products+ New ways of doing things = New customers.  

In today’s competitive and fast paced business environment, staying relevant means recognizing and capitalizing on your successes while letting go of the old habits and processes that hinder the growth of your company.  Learn from experts the ways and means to keep your business more focused, more energetic and more relevant in the eyes of a changing customer demographic.

Your Invitation to Education

Attend the horti/floriculture industry's leading education programs.  The show will host a variety of dynamic networking and professional development sessions, designed, developed and hosted by a number of Landscape Ontario’s sector groups.  Industry experts will be sharing their knowledge, compassion, skill, creativity and commitment to innovation along with effective sustainable techniques and best practices.
