Meet the Class of 2018! By Tim Hodson

The May issue of GPN is in the mail. You should be receiving your copy any day now (if you haven’t already gotten it).

The May issue is always a special one because it is when GPN announces its latest class of 40 Under 40 honorees. And this year’s class is one you are going to want to get to know.

The Class of 2018 is made up of 40 young men and women whose star is shining bright today and will continue to shine into the future.

This year’s class represents the entire breadth of horticulture — seed breeders, growers, garden center retailers, educators and so many more jobs that make up our fascinating industry. They are trailblazers, innovators and trendsetters — they are today’s movers and shakers who are shaping what tomorrow will look like and how it will operate.

As I mentioned above, the May issue is in the mail, but you don’t have to wait to read about the members of the Class of 2018.

You can meet this year’s class by clicking here to go to the 40 Under 40 page on www.gpnmag.com.

You can also access the digital edition of this month’s issue by clicking here.

If you are heading to Columbus this summer for Cultivate’18, you will have an opportunity to meet many of these individuals in person. On Monday, July 16, there will be a special “Mix ‘n Mingle with the Class of 2018” session at 10:30 a.m. in the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Stay tuned for more details.

In the meantime, meet the Class of 2018!
