The first-ever Garden Center Executive Summit took place in Denver, Colo., Feb. 18-20. Speakers, who included experts outside of the industry and peer leaders, delivered engaging, thought-provoking presentations relevant and meaningful to independent garden centers, who overwhelmingly shared positive feedback and said they left with many ideas they could implement in their businesses. Attendees shared highlights from the conference, including moments from the networking reception and Top 100 Independent Garden Center awards, on social media. Here are just a few of their posts.
