2018 LANDSCAPE INDUSTRY SHOW

Today was treat.  Every year the California landscape contractors association has its annual landscape industry show.  A show where landscape architects, landscape designers and contractors can go to see the various products that are available on the market.  It is also a great place to network and attend some seminars. 

This year was a highlight of lighting, irrigation, artificial turf and a mixture of various other products.  It was nice to see the brands that I love to support and to get to meet other professionals. 

That being said I have to admit that attendance was not what it used to be.  This is something I have a hard time understanding.  If this is a great show to promote and grow your business then why not be there to learn and grow.  I think that educational institutions along with employers should do more to encourage their employees/students to attend such events.  Now I understand that this means having to take a day off of work, but that is worth it if it means that your employee gets to network and help build your business.  Perhaps tomorrow will be better than today.

CLCA LANDSCAPE INDUSTRY SHOW 2017

Every year the California landscape contractors association holds it's annual landscape industry show, where various landscape companies get to showcase their products for designers and contractors to see what is out there.  From irrigation products, lighting and garden art this show is a must attend even if you not in the landscape industry.  This video is a highlight from the show.



My intent is to show in some of the products featured in this video in greater detail.  Stay tuned!

2011 LANDSCAPE INDUSTRY SHOW

I love attending the CLCA landscape industry show and getting a peek at the different landscape products that are out there. This is also a great way for those of us in the landscape industry to come together, network and share ideas and products. This year there were a lot of vendors sharing their knowledge and helping us designer and contractors grow.

From plants to energy efficient irrigation controllers these products are beneficial to your wallet and the environment. In the attached video some vendors share a sampling of their products. Bear in mind that there were over a thousand booths and there was no feasible way to take video of each booth and be able to share it in only a few minutes.



If you have questions on any of the products in the video or if you would like a complimentary landscape design consultation to discuss how any of these products would work in your landscape then kindly email me (info @ CreationsLandscapeDesigns dot com) and I would be happy to assist you (OC and LB residence only).

DON'T HIBERNATE: DOMINATE

If you are in the landscape industry or just plain interested in landscape products then this is the event for you. This show held every year at the LA convention center and put on by the California Landscape Contractors Association offers a massive variety of landscape products offering a birds eye view into what is available. Countless landscape product companies come yearly to showcase their products.

The event is FREE if you register online and I believe $5 at the door. You could even sign up for seminars (pricing varies) and learn about all kinds of neat things from irrigation to planting design, lighting and much much more.

LANDSCAPE INDUSTRY SHOW UPDATE

The landscape industry show was a huge success. Many product vendors showcasing a wide range of stuff from irrigation to hardscape to planting and lighting etc. If you wanted to see anything and everything about what type of landscape products were out there then this was the place for you.

As a designer I go every year to get updates on the products I use and to check out what is new. I saw some old co-workers, many product reps I knew and ran into some friends that were there as well.


You may click on any picture to see a sampling of who was there to promote their products.
As you can see there are a wide range of products to be seen and the cool part is that you could do it all under one roof. Hundreds of vendors and thousands of visitors made for a great event.



Congratulations to the California Landscape Contractors Association for an awesome event.

SAVE THE DATE - LANDSCAPE INDUSTRY SHOW - A MUST GO TO

The California Landscape Contractors Association is hosting the Landscape Industry Show 09 at the Los Angeles convention center February 25-26Th. This is a great event because you get to see the gamut on landscape products from hardscape, planting, irrigation... There will be more than 350 vendors/exhibitors and a gazillion great landscape products to check out, not to mention you can take seminars on various landscape related topics. I go to this show every year and get lots of cool product info for my biz. If you register online before the event it's free except the seminars are not free but worth every penny.

"What a better place than this to learn how the landscape industry is revolutionizing and changing the environment all in the name of saving mother earth."

Gary Vallen, LIS Chair puts it best...
"Just like in previous years, there will be almost a quarter-million square feet of convention floor taken over by thousands of plants, demonstration gardens, exhibitors and vendors showing off green-industry products and technology. From trucks to tractors to tiller and trenchers, you'll find the newest and best information about the latest in patio systems, outdoor kitchens, lighting, irrigation, hardscape techniques and materials - you name it - all in two days, under one roof. It's going to be a fantastic show"
