GROW! 2024 is over, and what a week it was in Des Moines, IA. We had fantastic sessions, an absolutely incredible tour of RJ Lawn & Landscape, and so much fun seeing everyone who attended in person again this year. The fun didn't end when the event did, and it was great seeing so many of you in the Des Moines airport.

Our Grow Group team is busy getting every last duck in a row in Des Moines before GROW! 2024 kicks off on Tuesday afternoon. For all those ambitious landscape pros who've signed up to join us, we've got a truly amazing event in store for you. Don't despair, if you aren't with us in person this week you can still join.

Our fate is in our own hands.

Have you been listening to The Grow Show? We've had some fantastic guests and episodes lately. Hopefully, you could listen to some episodes last week while pushing snow and salting surfaces. This week, our vice president, Vince Torchia, flipped the script and interviewed me on The Grow Show. We talked about the.

Our landscaping companies rely on trucks and equipment to get our work done, and in many cases it helps us to get our work done safely, efficiently, and without throwing out our backs 😅

As part of our preparations for GROW!, one of our ACE Peer Groups visits our tour host each year for a dry run of the GROW! Facility Tour. It's a chance for us to walk the route our attendees will follow, listen to the presentations each of our station presenters has prepared, and fine-tune precisely what attendees.

Happy last day of 2023!

Happy Christmas Eve Grow Group Community!

The power of an efficient team cannot be understated: in the companies that we work with through our ACE Peer Group Program in partnership with McFarlin Stanford, the most successful are the ones who are focused on operational efficiency alongside all their other priorities.
