Solutions Marketplace
Solutions Marketplace is where you'll find EVERYTHING you need for your business in one easy-to-navigate place. Every year, nearly 600 companies debut their new plants, products, and business services, and you get to see them first.
Trust us when we tell you to wear comfortable shoes. Solutions Marketplace is seriously big: it covers 7 acres!

NEW! Retail Terrace
Cultivate has long been a preferred destination for independent garden retailers, and although our Solutions Marketplace has always included numerous companies that provide them with products and services, we realized that there was even greater demand to offer more exhibitors and activities for this particular group.

IGNITE with the AmericanHort Scholars
In a fun, fast-paced series of presentations, six university students will present current industry topics to their audience. It's a great way for horticulture professionals to learn what's happening in education and how it can be applied to the industry. And it gives students the opportunity to develop their presentation skills and apply their theoretical knowledge to real issues. Not only is this a good chance for you to take a peek at what's going on in academia, it's also a great place to find your next intern or new hire.

INNOVATION ZONE
Simply put, technology makes businesses grow. But keeping up with the latest and greatest can sometimes feel like a full-time job. Our Innovation Zone is the ideal way to cultivate your technology knowledge by allowing you to gain hands-on experience with the newest, most innovative products and technology. Tech heads will be ready and willing to show you the how's, what's, why's, and wherefore's, and answer any questions you may have, including how to use an iPad and its available Apps to help build your business.
