Columbus, Ohio – AmericanHort and AmericasMart Atlanta are offering a professional holiday decorating workshop for interior plantscapers on March 2, 2016. Through a four-hour working demonstration, interior plantscapers will learn how to effectively decorate a building lobby, gain efficient buying suggestions, hear about upcoming trends, and get tips on how to grow a project bid from simply decorating a holiday tree to creating scenes throughout a lobby. Vendors such as Vickerman, Regency, GKI, and S4 Lights will be participating in the demonstration. The workshop begins with breakfast at 7 a.m., and lunch will be provided at noon.
A casual networking reception will be held the evening of March 1 for attendees. The price is $75 for AmericanHort members, $100 for non-members. To learn more about becoming a member, please visit AmericanHort.org/Join.
This workshop is held in conjunction with the Atlanta Spring Gift, Home Furnishings & Holiday Market, March 2-6, which provides an opportunity to shop for gardens, floral, gifts, outdoor living, and more in a relaxed atmosphere at the most convenient, comprehensive market center in the country.
To offset travel expenses, AmericasMart is offering one complimentary night stay at a participating Atlanta hotel. The special rate for AmericasMart buyers is also available for additional nights. Details are available at AmericanHort.org/Events. Deadline to take advantage of this offer is February 4.
