LOUISVILLE, Ky. -The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) announced its newest Trailblazers at the Green Industry Conference, Oct.26-29, here.

PLANET’s Trailblazers represent an elite group of dedicated industry professionals who were nominated by their peers for making significant and long-term contributions to the green industry in the areas of lawn care, design/build/installation, interior plantscaping, and landscape management.  Individuals who are selected for this lifetime honor are committed to giving something back to the green industry – each Trailblazer sets aside one day per year to provide on-site mentoring to a PLANET member.  This colleague-to-colleague mentoring and networking program is a wonderful opportunity for both emerging and established companies to gain insight and advice on how to develop and grow their businesses.
