As we enter Thanksgiving week, the task I'm giving you is simple: send a quick note to the people who have had an impact on you. Thank the parents and mentors who help to grow your business, the friends who talk you through challenges, the clients who refer you to their friends and family, the team members who keep our businesses running, and anyone else who deserves some appreciation. I'll be writing notes of my own alongside you. 

I also want to take a moment to tell each and every one of you how grateful my team and I are for your support this year. Smile today knowing that you help us get our message out and motivate us to be constantly looking for new ways we can help landscaping companies improve.

This year, we’ve been able to see your smiling faces at GROW! 2021, The NALP Field Trip: Frank & Marty's Excellent Adventure, the Grunder Landscaping Co. Field Trips, and most recently at the ACE Summit. You’ve invested in training your teams even as you’re frantically working to overcome the challenges this year has presented. You’ve recommended our events to your friends in the industry, sent us words of encouragement on social media and over e-mail, and have reminded us of why we are proud to work in the green industry over and over again. This community is special, and your willingness to share and help each other succeed is inspiring. 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
