Changes are happening within the Green Industry at a fast pace during the Covid-19 pandemic.  In addition to the questions and stress of gearing up for the season, there are many new questions this year, such as: Can your business stay open?  Can more than one person be in a vehicle for work purposes?  Can you only offer curbside service to your clients/shoppers?  What are other similar businesses doing to address health and safety?  These are a few of the many questions that Green Industry businesses are tackling during the pandemic.  We want to help you navigate through some of these questions via a free online event on Tuesday, April 28^th, at 2:00 pm (Eastern).  In addition to the Covid-19 related issues, we’ll also discuss the effects of the freezing temperatures on plants and how to manage emerald ash borer and social media during the pandemic.
