As the decade comes to a close, the team at NewGen Boxwood sets their sights to the future and the opportunities presented in the new year. Last month they looked at the official launch of the NewGen brand in 2019. Now they share the plans they have and how they hope to expand and connect with the industry.
Events
Trade events and shows provide a place for many members across the industry to connect with one another and showcase the newest and most exciting products. There are many regional shows all over the world, and NewGen Boxwood will participate in a few of them. The winter show season begins with one of the biggest industry events in Baltimore, MD. The Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show (MANTS) will be held at the Baltimore convention center starting Wednesday Jan 8th until Friday Jan 10th. This show brings in a whole spectrum of industry members from the Mid-Atlantic and around the US. Last year the NewGen brand was officially launched at the show. The company will participate again this year and be hosted by Saunders Brothers nursery at booth 424. You can also look for NewGen at partners booths around the show.
After MANTS the team will head to North Carolina to participate in NCNLA’s Green & Growin’ show in Greensboro. The show will be Thursday and Friday, Jan 30th -Feb 1st. You can visit them at booth 529.
Later in the year they will participate at the AmericanHort event, Cultivate in Columbus, OH. The show is in July and includes educational events along with a trade show.
Educational events
One of the major goals with NewGen is to provide up to date research and information to the industry about Boxwood and Boxwood related issues. Part of that includes participating in events where the team can share this knowledge with the industry and the public. They will give presentations at events such as the SNA conference in Baltimore, MD, and the Boxwood Health Conference in Aurora, OR. They will also sponsor and promote other events such as the American Boxwood Society’s event: The Third International Summit on Boxwood Challenges. Events like these bring in researchers from all over to share the most up to date information on boxwood challenges.
Plant availability
Starting this year, NewGen Boxwood will officially be available for sale from five partner growers. The partners include: Overdevest Nurseries in NJ, Prides Corner Farms in CT, Saunders Brothers Nursery in VA, Sheridan Nurseries in Ontario, and Willoway Nurseries in OH. Over 75,000 plants will be available to growers, landscapers, and retailers this year.
