CanWest Horticultural Show trends
I stopped by the CanWest Horticultural Show last week (“Western Canada’s premier nursery, landscape and floriculture trade show”). Like most hort shows, the types of exhibitors don’t vary all that much from year to year, so what I look for – in addition to anything really different – are the overall trends. Not exactly […]
