Four days of retail tours and invigorating conversations with fellow industry professionals. 🌿

The 2026 Summit brought together more than 50 garden centre owners, staff, growers and industry partners in Laval and Montréal to explore Québec’s garden retail scene.

Through industry sessions, retail tours and conversations with peers from across the country, participants found plenty of inspiration to bring back to their own businesses.

Today, we’re looking back at the highlights from this year’s Summit:

For someone starting their first season in the landscape industry, a pair of CSA-approved work boots is more than just footwear. It’s one of the essentials that can come with a high out-of-pocket cost.

CNLA’s “Digging Into our Future” employee grants are helping ease that pressure. This year, 10 employees at CNLA member businesses each received $1,000 to put toward the essentials they need to get started.

We heard from recipients Lindsay Young, Peter Mastromacro and Sarah Fenske about how the support is making a difference on the job.

What do you look for when you’re scouting farms for pests and diseases?

For the Landscape Ontario Horticultural Trades Association Nursery Scout Program, it means spending the growing season in nurseries across southern Ontario, looking closely at plants for signs of insects, fungi and other issues that could affect crops.

This year, student scout Kaylea Bray is gaining hands-on experience in pest identification, fieldwork and Integrated Pest Management while working alongside Scout Supervisor Ree Laforet and OMAFA to support growers.

From cedar leafminer and two-spotted spider mites to invasive pests like Japanese beetle and spongy moth, the scouting data helps growers identify problems early while also contributing to research and technical updates for the broader nursery industry.

The program is helping Ontario growers stay ahead of potential threats while giving the next generation of horticulture professionals valuable hands-on experience in plant health and IPM.

On this latest episode of Branching Out, Brea has an honest chat with Lakeland Plant World's very own Alex Godfrey!

They talk about the realities of being an owner's kid, building your own horticulture career, and learning to lead.

After spending two years working at an award-winning garden centre in the UK, Alex returned to Canada with new skills, a fresh perspective, and plenty of ideas to put into practice. He shares lessons from his international experience, what he learned about earning your place in a family business, and why people management is a skill you never stop developing.
