The Professional Grounds Management Society (PGMS) has announced it will be hosting a Regional Grounds Management Seminar & Site Visitation in Dallas, Texas on March 6 to 7.

Fresh on the heels of the formation of a Texas Branch of PGMS, this dynamic program will feature interactive educational programs and site tours of well-known facilities throughout the area and entertaining networking opportunities. This two day event will include four education seminars taught by local green industry experts focusing on timely grounds management topics such as maintaining LEED landscapes, safely managing arbor care professionals, incorporating organic fertilizers into your operations, and more. Also on the agenda are exciting behind-the-scene tours of some of Dallas’ most respected grounds management programs including the PGMS Green Star Award recipient Southern Methodist University and Dallas Arboretum. These site tours will provide the professional with an exclusive look at best grounds management practices in the field. The tours and classroom activities will be complimented by several unique networking opportunities with fellow grounds managers from all around the country. Having taken place in other areas such as Phoenix, Delaware and North Carolina this series of seminars is designed to provide grounds managers with the hard-to-find opportunity to gain knowledge, ask questions, and network with others about challenges and issues specific to their profession.

One of the best bargains in green industry education, the cost to attend the program is just $75 for PGMS members and $95 for other professionals. Further information is available online at https://www.pgms.org/2008regionaltexas.htm
