The leading commercial horticulture and green industry show, New England Grows!, has moved to December (last year’s February snows must have discouraged the promoters) and this year will be at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, 415 Summer Street, from Wednesday December 2 through Friday December 4. The GROWS experience is unlike anything else in the industry today. The world-class expo and dynamic lineup of learning experiences draw 12,000 professionals from all segments of the green industry to Boston every year. All access tickets are $89, expo only $39.

There will be a Women in Horticulture Networking Luncheon on Wednesday, December 2 from 12 – 2 at the Lighthouse Room in the Seaport Hotel. Celebrate the power, influence, and entrepreneurial spirit of women in horticulture. In addition to great company, good food, a stellar view of the waterfront, and a few surprises, this popular gathering will feature a conversation with esteemed biologist, author, educator, researcher, Garden Club of the Back Bay speaker, and scientific illustrator Elizabeth Farnsworth. As Senior Research Ecologist at the New England Wild Flower Society, Elizabeth’s most recent report – State of the Plants of New England – is a fascinating treatise on the status of plants and the impact of climate change in our region. Separate ticket price of $50 per person.
