Grow Forward: Growing Forward Together

The future of horticulture isn’t about one generation replacing another. It’s about connecting experiences, fresh perspectives, and a shared commitment to moving our industry forward.

Join a panel of emerging leaders from across horticulture as they share the experiences, opportunities, and relationships that have shaped their careers. From mentorship and professional development to advocacy, research, retail, and growing operations, panelists will discuss what they’ve learned from established industry leaders, the unique strengths their generation brings, and how they are preparing to lead in a rapidly evolving industry.

Whether you’re early in your career, developing future leaders within your organization, or looking for fresh perspectives on leadership, you’ll leave with practical insights, inspiration, and a deeper understanding of how we can cultivate the next generation of horticulture leaders together.
