\nJune 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

As I write these notes for the June addition we are amidst the \u201cspring rush\u201d or as some in the industry call \u201cthe hundred days of hell.\u201d Which, when written out, seems a bit drastic, but we can all relate. If you are in the Green Industry for your living, it doesn\u2019t matter if you a are single owner operator or have 100 team members under you, the stress is equal and real for all of us.<\/p>\n

When things get busy, it\u2019s natural to focus on the immediate work in front of you and more difficult to focus on bigger-picture thinking. During this first year as NHLA president, as we\u2019ve worked through the spring, it\u2019s been a bit overwhelming to submit these notes on time along with my other duties as a Board member. I also know that all of the other Board members and volunteers for the Association are in the same boat. It is a good opportunity to thank each and everyone person that helps NHLA provide the resources to you folks.<\/p>\n

On that this front, we have plenty of items in the works for this year. In May we have a sprayer calibration and safety workshop for women, paver and block wall installation workshop. In June and July, we will have twilight meetings at Bedrock Gardens and Van Berkum Nursery. In August our annual golf tournament, and in September our annual Field Day event.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Field Day event will boast a larger offering with additional vendors and more training opportunities including hands on learning.<\/p>\n

As a board, we continue to roll out more resources for the Association members, planning for both the near- and long-term future. I hope you take advantage of them all even when things are busing during the spring rush!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
