LANDSCAPE ADVISORY CENTRE RECAP
Another year of MIFGS has come and gone, but what a fantastic event this was! Throughout the 5 day show, we had some amazing conversations with the public, conducted over 150 consultations, handed out the very FAMOUS LVML buckets with The Best magazine, generated new leads for our Members, hung out with some great suppliers with the likes of Coolabah Turf and even Jamie Durie popped by with our friends at Repurpose It.
We would like to thank all our volunteers and our design consultants who volunteered their time to advocate for the Industry on behalf of LVML. Our LVML industry representatives are an essential part of the team at this event, so a big thank you for all your time and effort to join us to fly the Landscaping flag and make our presences at this year’s show one of our most successful yet.
A big thank you to some of our Supplier Members who generously donated product to help enhance and attract traffic to the LVML Dome:
