Throughout Landscape Ontario’s 40th anniversary year, www.horttrades.com/history and the Landscape Ontario YouTube channel will feature compelling interviews with interesting people who are important icons in LO’s history.

The new feature will highlight videos, photos and articles that tell many stories about the contributions of longtime Landscape Ontario members. The website features filmed interviews with Joe and Bill DeLuca from Aldershot Landscape Contractors, Leno Mori from Mori Nurseries, Horst Dickert from the legendary Lakeshore Landscaping, and more.

Currently, the homepage features a range of conversations that took place at Congress 2013 past president’s lunch. The leaders were asked three questions: how they got into landscaping, what changes they’ve seen in the industry and LO, and what would they like to see the association do in the future. None of the past presidents had the same answer to the questions

The site will continue to tell more and more stories in as many mediums possible. To keep up with all the updates throughout 2013, make sure to “like” the site’s Facebook fanpage (Landscape Ontario pioneers) to experience the newest articles and videos via your Facebook timeline. The fanpage is also a way for friends, family and LO members close to the pioneers to share additional photos and stories about the featured individuals, and also to make suggestions about who should be featured on www.horttrades.com/history.
