Wednesday, January 22, 2025

Aqua Turf Club
556 Mulberry St.
Plantsville, CT

The Winter Symposium is Connecticut’s top horticultural industry event! This is a great opportunity for Exhibitors to meet CNLA members, network with other exhibitors, attend educational programs, and demonstrate new products.

New this year, Attendees can enjoy THREE dedicated education tracks for Growers, Landscapers, and Garden Centers. There is a full day of programing, the CNLA and CNF Annual Meetings, CCH Recipient Recognition, breakfast and lunch, exhibitor breaks, and a raffle! Instead of a Spanish only session this year, CNLA will provide a Spanish translation service for ALL of the education sessions! A detailed schedule is coming soon!

Keynote Speaker – Jones Loflin Author, Inspirational Speaker, Coach

A More Natural Way to Lead

You’re busy. You are already feeling overloaded. You’d like to build greater capacity in yourself and members of your team, but where would you find the time? In short, you want to take your leadership to the next level, but the question is “How?” You need a fresh and practical blueprint. Jones Loflin says that new approach is built on four words: Grow, Cultivate, Prune, and Harvest.

In this innovative and engaging presentation built on the timeless practices of a gardener, Jones equips leaders to identify where change is needed in their daily activities and take productive action. It’s time to get “growing” and harvest something better for your people and your organization.
