The SGN Fam

We had such a great time at iLandscape 2026!

We were “Off to the Races” this year, speeding into spring with some of the best nursery friends in the business. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth to talk trees, catch up, and play some Mario Kart. We loved seeing our tree friends, new and old, and are so grateful to be part of such an amazing industry! Tradeshow season is always a blast and a blur – now let’s get growing this spring! Check out some of our pictures from the show below, we had so much fun!

iLandscape 2026

February 25–27, 2026 | Schaumburg, IL

The 13th annual iLandscape show is the Midwest’s premier tradeshow for the green industry, drawing nearly 7,000 landscape professionals from Illinois, Wisconsin, and beyond. With over 450 exhibitors and 50+ educational sessions, it’s three days packed with new products, best practices, and meaningful connections. Whether you’re a landscape contractor, grower, designer, or equipment dealer, there’s something here for you. Come find us on the show floor at booth #1613!

We always look forward to iLandscape as a chance to reconnect with longtime partners, meet new faces, and take the pulse of what’s happening across the green industry. From conversations about plant performance and availability to bigger-picture discussions about trends, labor, and sustainability, it’s one of those shows that leaves us energized and inspired.

Catch Maggie on a Trending Plants & Design Panel

Maggie will be joining a panel discussion on Wednesday, February 25 from 8:00–9:00 am titled “What’s Trending: An Update on Plants and Landscape Design.” Alongside Ashley Buzan and Greg Stack, she’ll be exploring what homeowners, landscapers, and designers are currently seeking, and who’s buying what.

From emerging trends to classic styles making a comeback, this conversation will dig into how tastes in plants and garden design continue to evolve. If you’re at the show, join us bright and early Wednesday morning for a lively, practical discussion rooted in real-world experience.

We value iLandscape because it gives us a chance to learn from others in the field, hear about new research and best practices, and stay connected to the people and ideas that push our industry forward. Every conversation we have at these shows, whether it’s about tree selection, growing techniques, or the challenges we’re all navigating, helps us grow and better serve our customers. We come to listen as much as we come to share.

The iLandscape Mario Kart Tournament

Keep an eye out for a little friendly competition on the show floor! We’re off to the races this year by hosting a Mario Kart Tournament at the Doty Nurseries (#1617), Kaneville Tree Farms (#1615), and Spring Grove Nursery (#1613) booths! Challenge your friends to a race for a chance to win!

Whether you’re coming for the education, the networking, or the Mario Kart bragging rights, we hope to see you in Schaumburg later this month. Stop by our booth, say hello, and let’s talk trees!
