About its past history

The 2021 conference used a hybrid online + offline model (using an online platform plus a small offline venue in Columbus, Ohio, USA)
This was the first time a hybrid model was adopted at the time, providing virtual booths and online seminars, focusing on the "home gardening boom"

Drawing on the experience of the previous year, the 2022 conference and expo was held in Nashville, Tennessee, USA with the confirmed theme: "Growing Stronger Together"
In-depth discussions on post-epidemic industry recovery strategies, market applications of horticultural therapy, supply chain optimization and localized planting trends。

The 2023 Conference and Expo hosted by Garden Center Magazine will be held in Louisville, Kentucky, USA.
The theme of this conference is "Retail Revolution: Adapting to the New Consumer".
Focusing on changes in consumer behavior and transformation of gardening retail, sustainable gardening practices and environmentally friendly packaging trends, e-commerce and offline experience integration case sharing activities, and adding experience blue bars for gardening companies from all over the country.
This year, the annual best gardening center award and new variety display area were added, so that everyone can share last year's proud work and feel the difference between themselves and others.

We predict and speculate on the development of this year

The specific details of the 2025 conference have not been released, but we can guess that：

Innovations in Horticulture and Technology – Expect to see new developments in sustainable gardening practices, smart garden tools, and advancements in plant care technologies. This could include innovations in AI-powered gardening systems, eco-friendly fertilizers, and water conservation technologies.

Retail Trends and Consumer Behavior – Workshops and sessions might cover insights into what gardeners are looking for in terms of products and services. Topics could include customer service strategies, e-commerce for garden centers, and trends like plant-based home décor or the growth of houseplant enthusiasm.

Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Practices – As sustainability continues to be a big focus, the conference could highlight new practices like zero-waste gardening, organic plant care, and carbon footprint reduction in the green industry.

Landscape Design and Green Architecture – There’s often a spotlight on landscape architecture, offering inspiration and guidance on garden center displays, outdoor spaces, and how to integrate modern design with nature.
