Turf Education Day 2019
by Rick Reuland
It was another
success story for the ILCA Turf Education Day (TED). An attendance record of more that 300 registrants was achieved in this 11th edition of the popular program. This year the TED program was moved to August 29 from its traditional date of mid-September. The event was held at the Chicago Botanic Garden. It’s no surprise that the event attracted a record crowd.
