Each year, the IGIA Growers Committee plans a one-day event where attendees tour member grower facilities.  This affords the opportunity for both members and non-members to learn more about the unique growing operations producing quality nursery stock right in our back yards. 

These events have become increasingly popular, with the 2017 tour selling out!  It has always been important to cultivate relationships with the people you are sourcing product from, so that you have what you need when it's time to install the job.  But with the demands of today's fast-paced world and constantly-changing customer expectations, your supplier relationships have never been more critical. 

Consider bringing your team to this year's event so you can connect with our network of growers!
