ELA is Making a Difference in the Landscape
Learn how at the 2010 Conference or a Roundtable/Eco-Tour.
Now in its 18th year, ELA remains focused on the education of green industry professionals, concerned citizens, and homeowners.
ELA proudly offers high-quality educational opportunities, leading edge newsletters, and diverse networking opportunities.
Ecologically responsible landscape practices are making serious inroads into the public's awareness. This new awareness provides additional opportunities for progress on ELA's mission of educating and advocating for environmentally responsible landscaping and horticultural practices.
The pressures that conventional landscaping practices put on our natural resources continue to grow as the number of people with landscapes to manage grows. The longer resource-intensive practices persist, the more risk we place on our nation's dwindling water supply, the quality of that water, our own health, and biodiversity in general. The public is beginning to understand that there is a healthier way to create and maintain our landscapes. ELA celebrates the progress that has been made in the past 18 years. But there is much more to be done. read more
