Sorry I am posting a day late, but I was at the Utah Nursery and Landscape Association also called the UNLA green conference that was held for three days. If you love gardening, trees and landscaping you should plan on making a visit to a Green Conference, it doesn’t matter which one. You learn so much and not to mention the connections you can make! There’s a workshops for every niche or interest. I attended most of the pesticide workshops so I could earn my continuing education credits for my applicator license. It was pretty cool to have the directors of both BYU and Utah State University Pesticide applicator department speaking to us about the best times to spay herbicides for certain weeds and with what products they recommend, which I will share with you on our Facebook page! These types of events really puts things in perspective for me, because some of my peers and friends come down on me and say that I shouldn’t tell or show people how to do things, because potentially i’m helping my competition. Like with my Weekend Tip videos on YouTube.com/Lawnthumbs . But at these events all the professionals are pouring out all their knowledge to everyone. Even one of my biggest competitors’ last year was giving me advice on bidding big projects; after his lecture he pulled me aside and sat down to help me better understand a concept that I was not used to using. It just goes to show that helping others in your field makes the industry stronger.
P.S My peers that say I’m helping the competition never go to conferences.
