    Here's What the Industry Is Saying

    We were really looking forward to the GCS 2022 show, and it didn't disappoint. It was so great to see IGCs come from all over - it exceeded our expectations and we can't wait for August 2023!

    The 2022 show proved to be a wonderful opportunity to display our company, meet new buyers, and write orders in-person!  We look forward to another successful Garden Center Show in 2023.
