Cultivate’23 is considered the premier event for the entire “green industry”. It’s hosted by AmericanHort and takes place July 15 through 18, 2023, at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, 400 North High Street Columbus, Ohio.

Although the show is aimed at trade professionals, “plant enthusiasts” also can attend. Attendees can register online.

Education sessions are organized into “Learning Tracks.” Each track includes education sessions focused on a specific topic, skill area, or industry segment. Attendees can chose sessions from multiple Learning Tracks, or take a deep-dive into a particular subject by following one track. There also are half or full-day programs July 15 that provide in-depth opportunities for hands-on learning.

Tours on offer include nursery production, retail garden centers, and greenhouse production. This year’s “tHRIve Sessions” focus on plant breeding, technology, drones, pollinators and natives, and pest and disease. The Cultivate Live! stage, located on the trade show floor, is a fast-pitch stage for exhibitors to demonstrate, share, and show their products and innovations.
