A New Season

I hope you are staying dry through these rainy days. It’s now March and with it comes the spring season, a time of new growth and garden revitaliza­tion.

If you are not aware, your chapter has been working on preparing a few events with our first one on March 28 at Ewing Supply in Glendale. The topic presented by Brian Arnold from Landscape Contractors Insurance Services (LCIS) will discuss Claims and HR laws. You do not want to miss this great opportunity to learn about these important business sub­jects, and to network with other like-minded individuals, some from surrounding chapters.

On April 11 we will showcase a Zoom presentation prepared by State Director of Membership Sal Hernandez, a multi landscape award winner at both chapter and state levels. The topic will be “How to Prepare Your Project Sites for the Awards Competition.” Click here to register.

Start figuring out which site/projects you will be entering for awards this year. Our Beautification Awards Competition will begin soon, with the Awards Banquet set for June 22 at Concessions at Encino Golf Course. This is the same location as last year’s successful Awards Banquet.

Entry forms are available online now. Click here for more information and to download yours. Entry forms are due by April 19. If you have any questions on how to submit your entries, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

We are also preparing other events throughout the year so please be on the lookout for the details, and RSVP as soon as you can for our events. As always, if you wish to help out and be more active in the chapter, please feel free to get in touch with any board member.
