HortEast 2009 Trade Show November 22, 2009

The HortEast committee is excited to announce that we will be holding HortEast in 2009, and that the 2009 show will be in Moncton, NB from November 23-25th, 2009 at the Moncton Coliseum. We thank our regular exhibitors, delegates and sponsors for their ongoing support of our show and look forward to seeing you again in 2009!

Horticulture related businesses, municipalities, and educational institutions from the Atlantic Region and across Canada rely on HortEast as their source for the newest industry information, education, and networking opportunity. We would like to extend our thanks to those who have been on the Hort East committee in the past and have established HortEast as such a success, with special thanks to Doug Conrad, 2008 HortEast Committee Chair, for his dedication and positive energy in organizing the 2008 show.

The 2009 HortEast Committee has been formed with representatives from Landscape New Brunswick and Landscape Nova Scotia. Kevin Nauss with Price Landscaping Services in NB will lead the committee as the 2009 Chair. Other committee members include Scott Mosher with Terra Nova Landscaping Inc. in NS, Darrell Nameth with Lawn Rangers Landscaping in NB, and Paul MacPhee with MacPhee's Landscaping Services in NS.

The committee will also be assisted by the Landscape New Brunswick and Landscape Nova Scotia offices and Rebecca Wetselaar, Manager of Provincial Relations with the CNLA, will be working as the coordinator for the show, along with show support from Michelle Gregory, Provincial Relations Coordinator with the CNLA. A representative of Landscape Newfoundland and Labrador will also be working with the committee and promoting the show ensuring that this is truly an Atlantic event.

Current show plans include offering a Garden Centre Tour and a Landscape Contractors Training Day on Monday November 23rd, bringing in cutting-edge speakers that will appeal to landscapers, nurseries and garden centres, certification opportunities, and a great party on Tuesday night. Members of LNS, LNB and LNL should note that they will receive special rates when participating as exhibitors or delegates in the show which provides an additional benefit of membership.
