At Bland Landcaping Co., we take career development and continuing education seriously. One of the ways we do that is by attending educational events, like Cultivate ’26. The event website describes it best:
AmericanHort, the leading national association for the green industry, will host Cultivate—the premier event for the entire green industry—at the Greater Columbus Convention Center July 11-14, 2026. Cultivate is known to attract thousands of industry professionals and visitors from all over the United States and the world.
The event boasts “world-class education, hands-on workshops, in-depth production tours, and unique industry experiences” for those in the horticulture industry.
Bland Landscaping Co. floriculturist, Rachael Breen, shares her notes and photos from the event:
