ABOUT THE NURSERY/LANDSCAPE EXPO

At Expo, greenline, hardline, and service companies serving growers, landscape contractors, retail nurseries, and a wide variety of grounds and landscape management professionals, gather to find out what’s new, what’s hot, and what specials are available this season.

Expo also offers a way to actually display your products and services in a setting no individual sales person can match. It’s like getting your customer to visit your showroom, but the showroom is enhanced by the festive atmosphere, the buying environment, and the beautiful surroundings of landscaped areas featuring nursery/landscape product. As internet business-to-business sales increase, one thing remains constant. In the Green Industry, people want to do business online only with companies they have met face to face.

Nursery/Landscape Expo is recognized, once again by Tradeshow Week Magazine, as one of the nation’s TOP 200 LARGEST TRADE SHOWS. This keeps EXPO among the prestigious group of TRADESHOW WEEK 200 PLATINUM SHOWS with only a small group classified as the largest shows in the country for over 20 years.

A TALE OF TWO ASSOCIATIONS TO BECOME ONE!

Texas Association of Landscape Contractors History
The Texas Association of Landscape Contractors (TALC) was founded by a group of concerned Dallas contractors in 1964. At the same time, TALC became a sponsoring member of the Associated Landscape Contractors of America (ALCA).

Goals of the association were to create a team of professionals to deal with the problems and promotion of the landscape industry.

In 1999 TALC merged with the Texas Association of Nurserymen to form the Texas Nursery & Landscape Association.

Texas Association of Nurserymen History
Born precisely at the turn of the century, the fledgling Texas Nurserymen's organization met once each year to discuss common business problems until, in1918, they merged with the Southwestern Association of Nurserymen. That name was maintained for 17 years, but as public awareness of the industry grew, with a corresponding increase in the number of nurserymen and volume of business, leading nurserymen in the state demanded an association of Texas members to deal specifically with Texas problems.

In 1935, at Mineral Wells, Texas, the Texas Association of Nurserymen was revived.On November 2, 1936, a charter was issued to the Association verifying its incorporation.

In 1988 the Association built and dedicated its own building at 7730 South Interstate 35 in Austin. This building and grounds have won both design and landscaping awards.

In 1999, TAN merged with the Texas Association of Landscape Contractors (TALC). All of TAN's historical services and honors continue, with the addition of new programs that had been a part of TALC
