Landscape Industry Night 2005

proudly sponsored by Boral Masonry

The 2005 Landscape Industry Night is being held to bring people working in the landscape industry together. This is an opportunity to catch up with acquaintances and to see innovative landscape products in an informal setting. It was a great success in 2004, so we decided to do it again.

For exhibitors the event is an opportunity to show off new landscape products in an informal, no-fuss setting with an emphasis on hands-on sharing of information rather than expensive product displays and lectures.

Horticulturists, landscape contractors, landscape architects contract managers, nurseries and suppliers of landscape products.

If you know someone else in one of the categories who might be interested in attending, feel free to pass on this information.

This event is by invitation only and is not open to the public.

6pm - 8pm Thursday 13 October 2005 in a marquee at Floriade in Commonwealth Park, Canberra (more details with confirmation). Light supper provided. Drinks available from the bar.

The industry night is being organised by a group of volunteers from the main industry groups. Communication by email is preferred where possible.

For more information email lin.visitor@gmail.com
