conference sessions

Retail Garden centre merchandising

John Zaplatynsky Canada Garden Works

John will identify how creative merchandise presentations can transform your garden centre into an inviting and exciting

destination.

The Green City - The Importance of Urban Green Space

Bill Hardy, Business Owner Grow & Gather Garden Centre

Climate change is affecting our cities, our communities, and our homes and is changing the way we must design and

build our urban landscapes. Each city, town and community must then, seek solutions and develop initiatives that are

specific to their needs. Bill will provide an overview of how this can be done.

Achieving Freedom & Profit, do you have what it takes?

Nathan Helder, President Southbrook Consulting

In this seminar you will learn from an industry expert that creating a culture of ownership, operating with an open book

management style, paying your staff above industry rates and providing career paths will lead to increase profits and

personal freedom. Nathan, a 3rd generation business owner will use first hand examples and share how he transformed

Gelderman Landscape Services into a industry leading landscape company.

Emerald Ash Borer in Minnesota - What has Slowed the Spread?

Mark Abrahamson, Plant Protection Division Director, Minnesota Department of Agriculture

Emerald ash borer has been in Minnesota since 2005 when it arrived in St Paul. The first discovery of EAB was in 2009 and

since then it has been found in 20 counties which is much less than was anticipated. Compared to the speed at which

EAB has spread generally in the U.S., the rate has been about 1/3 of that in Minnesota. We will consider the history of EAB in

Minnesota and why that difference is occurring.

Join us for a tour through some of the best new and recent plant introductions for the Prairie region. Expect to learn about

everything from perennials and planters to shrubs and shade trees from people that work with these plants every day and

can offer firsthand experience. Learn how local hardiness and performance trials offer tremendous insight into the

suitability of new introductions to Prairie gardens. This is one session that anyone with an interest in plants won’t want to

miss.

The rewards of volunteering

Bill Hardy, Business Owner Grow & Gather Garden Centre

What is a Weasel Worker? How did becoming a Weasel Worker lead to being the head coordinator at the top of the track

at the Ladies Downhill during the 2010 Winter Olympics. How did agreeing to volunteer for the 4:00 am shift in the dark and

pouring rain of the holding lot at the CanWest Horticulture Show at the Vancouver Convention Centre lead to being a VIP

at the 2019 Beijing World Horticulture Expo Opening and Closing Ceremonies, and almost get detained for accidentally

sitting in the Chinese Presidents Chair? Join Bill and follow him on his trip down the path of almost 40 years of volunteerism.

What to do with a Downpour: Ornamental Ways to Handle Rainwater

Sean James, Owner Sean James Consulting & Design

Development has resulted in large areas of impermeable surfaces, leading to flooding and damage to infrastructure and

waterways. Techniques will be discussed to aid in infiltrating rainwater into the soil while beautifying landscapes and

allowing a more unusual palette of plants to be used. We’ll cover how to design and build a rain garden including

placement, construction, and plant choice.

Tree risk assessment: Principles, practices and progress

Alex Satel, Senior consultant - urban forestry and arboriculture Urban Forest Innovations Inc.

This presentation examines the elements of tree risk assessment in an urban forest context. Attendees will learn about the

concept of risk; tree biology as it relates to risk; tree biomechanics; ‘defects’ and modes of failure; industry standards, best

practices and methods of risk assessment; and conservation-oriented options for risk mitigation. The presentation will

review the full range of risk assessment practices and methods, from limited visual assessment to emerging and

experimental methods employing technology first developed by NASA for use in the space shuttle program.

conference sessions Take Control of your Fleet Vehicle Costs with Jim Pattison Lease and General Motors

Introduction to Green Infrastructure

Rohan Lilauwala, Program Manager Green Infrastructure Foundation

Green infrastructure refers to natural and human-made elements that provide ecological and hydrological functions and

processes to address environmental resilience and climate change, and include elements like trees, wetlands, rain

gardens, and green roofs. This session introduces participants to the rationale for green infrastructure, its elements, benefits,

and the principles behind successful policy and implementation of these systems.

Talk Dirty: Soil and the Things Living in it

Sean James, Owner Sean James Consulting & Design

We’re learning much about soil and its importance to plant health and climate change. The latest information and

science will be discussed. Several main questions will be asked and answered. How do we steward the soil microbiome?

What are the beneficial bacteria and fungi? What activities harm the soil and therefore the plants? Can better soil

stewardship also mean lower maintenance? It’s a dirty topic, but someone’s got to cover it.

EAB Management and trapping/Lallemand Plant Care- Microbial in Nature

Ryan Longo, Bioforest, Business Development and Technical Specialist

Emerald Ash Borer trapping and treatment strategies. Lallemand Plant Care utilizes microorganisms and bacteria in various

applications, servicing many different sectors of plant production from food production to horticulture nurseries. learn

buck thorn control.

conference sessions Preventing the Movement of Pests and Disease in Nursery Stock

Mark Abrahamson, Plant Protection Division Director, Minnesota Department of Agriculture

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is responsible for preventing the movement of pests and disease through nursery

stock and insuring that clean, viable stock is available in the market place. To accomplish this task the Department

maintains a program to inspect both the stock grow in Minnesota as well as that which is brought into the state for sale.

Making the case for Green Infrastructure

Rohan Lilauwala, Program Manager Green Infrastructure Foundation

The benefits of green infrastructure - like stormwater management, energy savings, increased resilience to climate

change, and improved air quality - are well known and accepted. However, these benefits are rarely measured, and their

value not included in important policy, investment, and development decisions. This session helps participants understand

the principles behind valuing green infrastructure's many benefits, so that these valuations can be used to make better

decisions around limited resources.

The Art of Ruthless Execution

Nathan Helder, President Southbrook Consulting

How committed to winning are you? Why do good ideas fail? Why is it so hard to win? How is it that each year we create

a new plan, yet there always appears to be reasons why the plan did not happen. Being successful is hinged on being

consistent, 100% of the time, Ruthless! Learn how to create the right environment, have the right focus and build the right

team.

Tree Planting Solutions for Hard Spaces

Alex Satel, Senior consultant - urban forestry and arboriculture Urban Forest Innovations Inc.

Urban forests lack many of the features of natural forests that are critical for tree survival, and throw a few other challenges

into the mix. But don’t despair! Despite the perils posed by urban landscapes, there are ways to effectively and sustainably

integrate healthy trees into even the most difficult of hard spaces. This presentation reviews key lessons learned from

successful (and unsuccessful) tree planting case studies in highly urbanized and challenging locations that can be applied

in any community seeking to go from grey to green.
