What do all these things have in common? A Hillsborough County Extension new class venture bridging the gap between growers, landscape architects and city planners on expectations of how, when, why, and where trees should be used. The class "Tree Selection and Changing Urban Demands" is a fresh perspective on the future City of Tampa's Urban tree plan and what that will mean to growers and landscape architects. Dr. Ed Gillman will look at tree grades and standards using real trees in a nursery as examples. I will discuss how trees are grown in the area, how long it takes, and where to find plant material availabilities. Mr. Rob Northrop will discuss the City of Tampa Urban Tree plan and what changes will be taking place as a model system for future municipalites. We will then have an open discussion including City of Tampa Natural Resources to talk about opportunities and challenges for all involved. Area growers are welcome to bring plants to the mini-tradeshow for landscape architects to view. We will have FNGLA CEUs and LA CEUs available. We will also have regionally famous JP's BBQ served for dinner as well. This alone is almost worth the price of the class. Only 50 seats available so hurry and get yours reserved!
