Why 2 themes for the EXPO?

Many people would say, "What themes?", but the Nursery/Landscape EXPO has two themes that carries the show's messages.

The first is the official EXPO theme. This year it is STAND THE TEST OF TIME! That says so many things in the shaky economic times we face. While the show celebrates over 50 years of continued service to the Green Industry, the Green Industry itself is steeped in tradition in Texas and surrounding states. They continue to be leaders in production, retail, landscape, and industry supply. There is a great sense of pride among all who are part of this vaat Green Industry community. They do STAND THE TEST OF TIME, even though years have been added to many faces.

The second theme is really not a show theme as much as it is a party theme. Each year enthusiasm is built around the Welcome Party. Well, a party needs decorations. And decorations need a creative direction - thus the party theme. "TNLA goes ..." is the starting point each year. We have gone to the beach, to the circus, south of the border, and psychedelic. This year we are going to Ancient Rome. So while the decorations will suggest roman culture, togas are not the suggested dress. Many exhibitors use THIS theme to decorate their booth.

Enjoy and reflect on both EXPO themes!
