Last week, our teams were excited to gear up in Apex for our annual student workshop in preparation for the upcoming National Collegiate Landscape Competition event—and our very own North Carolina High School Landscape Competition event!
We hosted students from NC State University, Alamance Community College, Sandhills Community College, and the University of Mount Olive for a day filled with training, collaboration, and fun. It was inspiring to see so many familiar faces—students who have attended these workshops in past years and those who have been part of our summer internship program over the last three years. Watching them grow into skilled professionals, ready to lead the future of our industry, is truly rewarding.
A huge thank you to our incredible management team—from Charlotte to the Coast—who generously dedicated their time to working with the group. Your commitment and expertise make all the difference. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to making this our best event yet. The next generation of landscape professionals is rising, and the industry is in great hands!
Another huge thanks to our Apex vendors Vermeer All Roads and SiteOne Landscape Supply for their continued, generous contributions.
Best of luck to all the students competing—we can’t wait to see you shine!
