Master Nursery Garden Centers moves gathering to Cultivate ‘15
Master Nursery Garden Centers and AmericanHort jointly announced in a news release that Master Nursery Garden Centers will begin hosting its eastern region gathering (formally know as the Conclave) this year at Cultivate ’15 in Columbus, Ohio, July 11-14.
“We are moving our membership meeting to Cultivate because it’s an all-inclusive event that will provide business-building education and access to the largest variety of plants and products that our members need,” said Gerry Docksteader, vice president of operations at MNGC in Vacaville, CA, in the release.
“We are excited about Columbus, which is a city that celebrates independent businesses, and is an easily accessible and affordable destination,” Docksteader added.
Now in its 86th year, nearly 10,000 people attend Cultivate, which is considered to be North America’s largest all-industry horticultural event.
“We are delighted to welcome Master Nursery Garden Centers to Cultivate,” said Michael V. Geary, president and chief executive officer at AmericanHort in Columbus, OH, in the release.
“It’s an industry event organized by and for retailers, and where the members of MNGC will feel at home,” he said. “This multi-year partnership will provide the opportunity to bring business know-how, the hottest plants, and the newest products to an expanded group of retailers.”
