How green are you?
Do you think your company exemplifies being environmentally friendly? Or maybe you know of a company that goes above and beyond when it comes to being conscious of the environment when working on projects? If that’s the case, then you should take part in our 2012 Environmental Business Awards. The EBA program honors outstanding landscape contractors and design businesses that demonstrate a corporate focus and commitment to conduct their business practices in ways that conserve, protect and enhance the urban environments of North America.
Awards will be given for the following categories:
- Best Commercial Project
- Best Residential Project
- Best Body of Work
- Most Innovative Use of Technology
This year’s awards presentation will take place at the GIE+EXPO, Oct. 25-26, in Louisville, Ky.

Spring Trials 2012
The editors at our sister publications Greenhouse Management and A Garden Life made the trek down the California Coast to catch a glimpse of the latest and greatest in plants. And thankfully, they again recorded the highlights, brought them back and posted them on the Lawn & Landscape website. Below are a few samples. To see all these clips, visit www.lawnandlandscape.com and search “spring trials.”
