MANTS and Green & Growin' switch 2015 dates

BALTIMORE -- The Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show has announced a change of date for its January 2015 event. Due to scheduling concerns, MANTS will swap show dates with North Carolina-based Green & Growin’ Show for January 2015 only.

In 2015, MANTS will take place rom Jan. 14-16 at its home venue, the Baltimore Convention Center. MANTS is sponsored by the state Nursery and Landscape Associations of Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia and brings together 1,000 vendors of top industry products from across the U.S. and internationally.

“These shows collectively support our industry and the fact that the Green & Growin’ Show and MANTS are able to work together is good for our exhibitors, good for our attendees and good for the industry,” said MANTS Executive Vice President Vanessa Finney.

The Green & Growin’ Show will be held Jan. 5-9, 2015, in Greensboro, N.C. Educational sessions will be January 5-7, 2015 at the Sheraton Four Seasons Hotel and the trade show January 8-9, 2015 at the Greensboro Coliseum. Hosted by the North Carolina Nursery & Landscape Association (NCNLA), Green & Growin’ provides an important marketplace for the nursery and landscape industry and educational seminars for landscape, nursery, garden center, irrigation, arborist, and turf maintenance professionals.

“As show managers, we communicate and work hard to be respectful of each other’s dates,” said NCNLA Executive Director Ross Williams. “The most challenging part is the logistics and we are fortunate to have supportive regional partners with whom we can work”.
