THE LEAFLET

Last week, our farm team had the honor of attending the Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show (MANTS), one of the largest private trade shows serving the horticulture industry and the premier green industry marketplace for finding plants and nursery stock, landscape and garden items, heavy and light duty equipment, tools, furniture, and hundreds of other allied industry products.

Our attendance at MANTS was not only a great opportunity to learn about current nursery trends, see new farm products and machinery, and make connections with other growers and customers – it was also a time to highlight our own work in tree production using techniques that prioritize long-term soil health and productivity while safeguarding the overall environment. It was a chance to showcase our farm’s very unique connection to DC and our strong commitment to sustainability.

At the conclusion of MANTS, our farm team commented on how great it was to hear from other trade show attendees – not only their recognition of our Berryville, VA farm as a grower of high-quality trees, but their recognition of our larger organization as a nonprofit leader in the area of urban forestry.
