specializing in satisfying the needs of horticulture purchasing
professionals. In the inaugural event, Garden Expo attracted close to
2,000 attendees and 155 exhibitors presenting new products.

few years later the show expanded by adding Florist Expo, a
show-within-a-show offering fresh cut flowers and tropical plants for
floral retailers and interior plantscapers. The show has continued to
flourish in serving the needs of green industry professionals.
