The Ohio Nursery & Landscape Association (ONLA) held its annual MGIX trade show and conference at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio, on Jan. 15 to 17. Focused on a wide range of environmental, landscape and nursery related issues, the event attracted owner/operators, designers, architects, growers, arborists, retailers and other industry specialists from Ohio and surrounding states.
Celebrating its 110th year, the association kicked off the event with an annual business meeting on Jan. 15 and an anniversary breakfast event geared toward networking opportunities on Jan. 16. A series of general education sessions combined with Ohio State University sessions were offered throughout the three day event. Topics ranged from family business transition plans to plant propagation and garden design to safety issues and industry research. One portion of the show floor also was designated as the “Climbers Corner” where arboriculture and climbing technique demonstrations were conducted.
With more than 1,300 members, the Ohio Nursery and Landscape Association (ONLA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the success and growth of green industry business and serves contractors, arborists, maintenance firms, nursery stock growers and suppliers involved with Ohio's nursery and landscape industry.
