The Lawn & Landscape April cover story featured Johnette Taylor, president of Roundtree Landscaping in Dallas. (See page 42.)
In 2002, Taylor helped launch a professional landscaping contest at the Texas State Fair by promoting the idea to members of the Texas Nursery & Landscape Association. Eight companies participated the first year; today, more than 50 contractors take advantage of the opportunity to expose their work to more than 3 million attendees who visit the fair over a three-week period. Now, many companies even maintain their beds year-round. Listen to the podcast to hear Taylor talk about how the State Fair Fall Garden Exhibition got underway and the unique way she and other contractors install and maintain their beds.
