ILCA and IGIA are once again collaborating to present the training that the Downstate Illinois landscape community needs before the start of the spring season. We’ve taken feedback from the 2022 event, gathered insights from this busy season, and combined it all with the oversight and knowledge of the ILCA Technical Skills Committee to offer two tracks of education and a greenhouse full of suppliers highlighting the latest products, equipment, and services.
