What is 'Meet Our Members'?

 

At the HTA (Horticultural Trade Association), we take immense pride in the dedication and hard work exhibited by all our APL (Association of Professional Landscapers) members. The vibrant community is comprised of passionate individuals and firms who contribute significantly to the flourishing landscaping industry. To shed light on their remarkable efforts and share their valuable insights, we have made the decision to conduct interviews with some of our outstanding members. These interviews will not only celebrate their achievements but also provide a deeper understanding of the landscaping sector. We believe that by showcasing the expertise and experiences of our members, we can inspire and educate others while fostering a sense of camaraderie within our association as well as the industry. Stay tuned for our upcoming interviews, as we continue to champion excellence and innovation in the world of landscaping.
