Two tours, one trip: Get more bang for your buck by attending two overlapping tours hosted by the American Nursery & Landscape Association (ANLA). Learn how Mid-Atlantic businesses grow some of the industry’s highest-quality plant material from Sept. 9 to 11 at the Kick the Dirt Tours and Talks in Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey. And get a behind-the-scenes look at the distribution yards of Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland at the Landscape Distribution Tour from Sept. 10 to 12. Attend one tour and get a bonus day traveling with the other.
Kick the Dirt will visit Angelica, a large field producer of top-quality, landscape-sized material; Moon, an employee-owned business emphasizing tree price and quality; and Overdevest, a nursery known for their systematic approach.
The Landscape Distribution Tour will kick off at Conard-Pyle Company followed by a visit to Manor View Farms and making a final stop at Moon’s nursery and landscaping facilities. Learn how these companies thrive with efficient distribution methods and inventory control systems.
