Rini's Garden is located in Houston's residential community of River Oaks. As a well-known author and illustrator of children's books, the client wanted an outdoor space that would inspire and be reflective of the magical essence of her writings. Flagstone walkways were installed along with two custom wrought iron arches and a stunning water fountain. To add to the fairy tale landscape a butterfly topiary garden was installed lined with boxwoods. AJ also added large cherry laurels as a green backdrop and planted an eclectic mix of textures and colors throughout.</div>

TIPS TO SUCCESSFUL NETWORKING AT EXPO'S WELCOME PARTY</h2>
<br />
EXPO's Annual Welcome Party is an incredible event to attend and one of the best ways to make valuable connections with the Green Industry.<br />
<br />
Here are some networking tips for this year's Welcome Party:<br />
<ul>
<li>Get there early if you want a table rest your feet and sit among old friends or share a seat at the table with new ones</li>
<li>Be sure to bring some extra business cards, you never know who might run into</li>
<li>Step away from the known and into the unknown by introducing yourself to a few new people</li>
<li>When meeting someone new, try to repeat their name several times during the conversation so that it sticks when you see them again on the Tradeshow floor</li>
<li>Try to spend more time listening than talking and leave the sales pitch behind</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A special thanks to this year's Welcome Party Sponsor:</div>

</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Consolidate purchases down from weeks into a single day</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Trade Shows present an environment where vendors want to
compete for your business and offer Show Discounts</span></li>

are looking for and make those connections for long-term use</span></li>

EXPO is the perfect getaway and the chance to see the latest innovations the Green Industry has to offer. Making the decision on how to conduct your EXPO journey can be one of the most important steps to making the most of your time for EXPO success. Whether you are new to EXPO or seasoned, covering the entire show floor in three days can be a challenge. Here are some things to consider as you prep for your EXPO experience. GAME ON!</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Save time by researching Exhibitors <a href="http://s19.a2zinc.net/clients/TXNLA/NLE14/Public/ExhibitorList.aspx?ID=3404&sortMenu=105000">online</a>, or through EXPOs <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nursery-landscape-expo/id385754132?mt=8">Mobile App</a></li>
<li>Be sure to grab a Tradeshow program, look through it before each day to make sure you have not missed an opportunity to see something new and map out your course</li>
<li>When meeting a new industry contact make a note on their business card referencing your conversation for further review later</li>
<li>Plan to have some fun, be sure to visit with Exhibitors, ask them questions, make a note on what you are interested in for easier follow up post show</li>
<li>Take the knowledge and tools you gather from EXPO and share them with those back at the office, it may inspire other ideas and strategies for thought</li>
</ul>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 22.17599868774414px;">The challenge for this project was to transform an ordinary landscape into an extraordinary resort-feel pool and garden. To make the outdoors usable year round, the small terrace was transformed into an expansive loggia. The landscape architect designed everything from the steel structure (working with a structural engineer) to the detailed coffered ceilings. Linear pavilions were designed to flank the rectilinear pool and trees were selectively removed to give glimpse of what lay beyond the back door. </span></span></span><br />

While you're cruising the show floor or between sessions at EXPO Education, keep your eyes peeled for two folks who know what's moving and shaking in DFW- David Yonis, Chair of TNLA <a href="http://www.tnlaonline.org/regions/regioniv" target="_blank">Region IV (Dallas area)</a> and Derek Whisenand, <a href="http://www.tnlaonline.org/regions/regionv" target="_blank">Chair of Region V (Fort Worth area)</a>.</div>

David Yonis is Production Manager at <a href="http://www.roundtreelandscaping.com/" target="_blank">Roundtree Landscaping</a>. He is a 2005 graduate of Tarleton State University with a degree in Horticulture and Landscape Management. He's been in Dallas/Fort Worth since 1996, although he grew up in Massachusetts. During college, David worked for three years at a tree farm in Stephenville, TX. David has been at Roundtree since 2005. He is licensed as a commercial pesticide applicator, a licensed irrigator in the state of Texas, and a <a href="http://www.txnla.org/certification/certification_main" target="_blank">TNLA certified Landscape professional.</a> When he's not working, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Marla, and 2 dogs, Calvin and Tessie. He is also a diehard Boston Red Sox fan.<br />

Derek Whisenand's background stems from many years in working in his family business at <a href="http://www.whiz-q.com/" target="_blank">Whiz-Q Stone</a>. His grandfather founded the company in 1983. As a teenager and young adult, he was brought up delivering quality service and products to our customers. During high school he participated in various sports which taught him about team efforts and the strength of building great relationships. Through high school, he worked at Home Depot in the evenings and weekends selling high end appliances as well as servicing many property owners and other customers with their bulk purchases of not only appliances, but other building materials. After high school, Derek came back to the family business full time where he learned to combine all of the skills and lessons he had picked up to focus fully on the growth of Whiz-Q. Whiz-Q Stone is now one of the largest Stone, Masonry, Hardscape, and Landscape Supplies in the state of Texas serving both homeowners and professionals with quality products and exceptional customer service.<br />

You'll probably find David at <a href="http://www.nurserylandscapeexpo.org/education/education" target="_blank">EXPO Education </a>collecting CEUs or at the <a href="http://www.nurserylandscapeexpo.org/awards_dinner/awards_dinner" target="_blank">TNLA Awards Dinner</a> (Roundtree Landscaping is a nominee for the Summit Award, the highest honor bestowed to a TNLA member company).<br />
<br />
There's a good shot at catching Derek at Booth #1009. Make sure to ask them what Regions IV and V are looking forward to in the coming months. And be sure to thank them for their double sponsorships-- both as region leaders, and through their companies, <a href="http://www.whiz-q.com/" target="_blank">Whiz-Q-Stone</a> and <a href="http://www.roundtreelandscaping.com/" target="_blank">Roundtree Landscaping.</a></div>
