Dear Members,
March is closing and April is beginning, what should my message be in this time of uncertainty? As I ponder this question, the sun is shining outside and retail garden centers are bustling with shoppers. Meanwhile, construction remains down resulting in the reduction of business in the landscape and re-wholesale trade. In the “news” is the disaster of the economy. But wait, the consumer is going to stay home and decorate the American living space, inside and out.
We are in a season of change, wanted or not, here it is. What are all of the changes that are going to occur? I am sure that I do not have the answer to what the future will hold, however, we have all seen signs and evidences of the change in our industry.

The size of the crowd and number of buyers attending the Gulf State Horticultural Expo (GSHE) once again impressed exhibitors during the Jan. 29-31 event held in Mobile. For the third year in a row, GSHE exhibition space was sold out, and with strong numbers in attendees as well, the show lived up to its billing as the “Premier Winter Trade show of the South”.
More than 435 companies filled two floors of the Arthur R. Outlaw Convention Center to show off thousands of product lines in 700 booths at the 11th annual show. Exhibitors came from as far away as Canada, Michigan and across the Southeast to reach buyers and industry professionals. The event is put on each year by the Alabama Nursery & Landscape Association (ALNLA), the Louisiana Nursery & Landscape Association (LNLA), and the Mississippi Nursery & Nursery Association (MNLA).
