Come to the Bay was a Great Success!

Held February 26–27 in Virginia Beach, this event was a member favorite. Turnout was high, and attendees had many opportunities to expand their knowledge and network with other turfgrass professionals. Education opportunities focused on Environmental Stewardship and included sessions on Getting the Basics Right, Public Relations and Pesticides and Pollinators.
