President's Letter: Let's Connect at The Landscape Show

By now, you know me, my family, and what drives me.

Now I want to get to know each of you.

This month offers a great opportunity to connect.

The Landscape Show will take place August 20 - 22, 2025 at the Orange County Convention Center – almost right down the road from the FNGLA office in beautiful Orlando.

This industry trade show is more than just an event; it's a celebration of vision, connection, and the power of thinking bigger.

For over 40 years, our industry has gathered to share innovations, exchange ideas, ask bold questions, and build relationships that shape the future of landscaping in Florida and beyond.

What makes The Landscape Show special isn’t just the size of the plants or the scope of the exhibits though, let’s be honest, no other industry brings massive trees into a convention center quite like we do. It is also because of our boldness, our creativity, and our drive to ask, "What if?" or “Why not?”

Why not reimagine what is possible in our spaces and in our industry?

This show is where doors open to new ideas, partnerships, and possibilities. Whether you are stepping through the doors of the convention center or walking into the Opening Day Reception, you are entering a space built for connection and collaboration. These are the moments where handshakes turn into opportunities, where conversations turn into long-term partnerships, and where inspiration begins to take root.  

Each year, The Landscape Show grows because of your courage to think differently and dream boldly. It’s your commitment that brings beauty, scale, and ambition to every corner of the show floor. From towering trees to transformative technologies, everything on display is a testament to an industry that refuses to think small.

We invite you to take full advantage of everything The Landscape Show has to offer. Come connect. Come grow. Come walk through the doors of opportunity and into the next chapter of what is possible when we gather together.

See you at the show!

Your FNGLA 2025-26 President,

Marcella Lucio-Chinchilla
