PLANET Trailblazers to be honored

The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) announced its newest Trailblazers. They will be recognized during PLANET’s Green Industry Conference, October 27–30, 2010, in Louisville, Ky.


PLANET’s Trailblazers represent an elite group of dedicated industry professionals who were nominated by their peers for making significant and long-term contributions to the green industry in the areas of lawn care, design/build/installation, interior plantscaping, and landscape management. Individuals who are selected for this lifetime honor are committed to giving something back to the green industry — each Trailblazer sets aside one day per year to provide on-site mentoring to a PLANET member. This colleague-to-colleague mentoring and networking program is a wonderful opportunity for both emerging and established companies to gain insight and advice on how to develop and grow their businesses.
