Green Industry Expo

Organizers of the second annual Green Industry Expo, held recently at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, say it was a huge success. Almost 350 people attended the Educational Seminar and Trade Show sponsored by the Jefferson County Extension Office and co-sponsored by the Greater Birmingham Association of Landscape Professionals.

The expo featured speakers from 3 states. Twelve local horticulture and turf vendors also displayed their products at the trade show.

The event attracted landscapers, parks and recreation workers, golf course superintendents, Master Gardeners and Extension agents from 14 Alabama counties.

Organizers of the event said the expo highlighted a sector in agriculture that impacts a large percentage of Alabama’s population, especially in urban areas, and that will receive increasing emphasis throughout Jefferson and surrounding counties.
