Orlando, FL — The Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association (FNGLA) is expanding opportunities for green industry professionals to advance their careers at The 2026 Landscape Show through a robust lineup of continuing education programs and a dedicated Certification Showcase. The event will take place August 19–21 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
The Landscape Show is where the landscape and nursery industry comes to grow.
This industry tradeshow brings together the people, plants, products, and ideas shaping the future of landscaping and plant production, making it the most efficient and impactful place to do business, gain knowledge, and build connections.
This year’s event places a special emphasis on helping professionals maintain industry credentials, earn continuing education units (CEUs) and explore certification pathways that demonstrate expertise and commitment to excellence.
“The Landscape Show is more than a trade show, it’s an opportunity for professionals to gain new skills, build expertise and advance their careers,” said Tal Coley, chief executive officer of FNGLA. “Whether attendees are looking to earn continuing education credits, maintain a professional certification designation or explore a new certification opportunity, we are committed to providing resources that help them grow and flourish.”
Located on the trade show floor, The Connection Hub Stage will feature presentations and interactive discussions throughout the event. Industry experts will share practical insights on topics ranging from plant health and workforce engagement to business management and industry challenges.
Featured presentations include:
- Soil Moisture Management for Sustainable Plant Health presented by Matt Campbell, Arborjet | Ecologel
- Trimless Plants: Learn How Slowing Plant Growth with PGRs Enhances Your Business and Client Satisfaction! presented by Jason Ellington, Rainbow Ecoscience
- Engaging Today’s Workforce presented by John and Souny Kennedy, BoomerWrangle
Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in The Landscape Show’s Connection Unscripted discussions, including:
- Soil: Let’s Chat About Digging In
- Let’s Chat About Surviving the Freeze: Plants That Came Back Stronger
- Let’s Chat: What Keeps Employees Engaged
These interactive sessions are designed to encourage peer-to-peer learning and meaningful conversations about the challenges and opportunities shaping the green industry.
FNGLA will also host certification-focused programming at the FNGLA Certifications Booth (#1127). On Thursday, August 20, attendees are invited to participate in Discover Your Pathway to FNGLA Certification, an informative session for professionals interested in learning more about industry certifications available through FNGLA.
These sessions will provide an overview of FNGLA’s certification offerings and demonstrate how professional credentials can enhance career development, strengthen industry expertise and showcase a commitment to excellence.
Admission to these show floor presentations is included in the price of a trade show badge.
As part of its continued commitment to workforce development, FNGLA is once again partnering with Seed Your Future to host two horticulture career fairs during The Landscape Show.
The career fairs will introduce students to the wide range of opportunities available within Florida’s green industry through educational presentations and guided experiences on the trade show floor. Participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with exhibitors, learn about career pathways and gain firsthand exposure to the businesses and professionals driving the industry forward.
The initiative supports FNGLA’s ongoing efforts to cultivate the next generation of horticulture and landscape professionals while helping employers connect with future talent.
