Ed HansenAs we dig into this latest issue of Landscape Ontario magazine, I’m thrilled to plant some exciting news right at the forefront! As many of you know, the scholarship application deadline for aspiring horticulture and landscape professionals is fast approaching on June 30. I encourage all students to seize this opportunity to invest in their education and futures.

Additionally, I am thrilled to announce the entry period for the prestigious Landscape Ontario Awards of Excellence program will open online July 1. This is a wonderful chance to showcase your hard work and creativity, recognizing the exceptional talent within our community.

The resilience of our industry has been remarkable to witness. Despite the challenges we've faced, I have seen firsthand how our community continues to thrive, adapt and support one another. It’s a testament to our collective strength and determination. We truly are stronger together.
