Landscape Ontario Congress Toronto

Since its founding in 1973, the Landscape Ontario Congress has established itself as Canada’s leading trade show for the landscaping and horticulture industry. Organized by the Landscape Ontario Horticultural Trades Association, the event transforms the Toronto Congress Centre every January into a vibrant meeting place for professionals in landscape construction, urban greening, grounds maintenance, architecture, and municipal planning.

What makes this trade show particularly valuable and forward-looking is its clear focus on the current and future challenges facing the industry. At its core are sustainable design concepts, cutting-edge outdoor technologies, and practical solutions for everyday operations – ranging from smart irrigation systems to resource-efficient care of native plant communities. Expert sessions on topics such as soil science and the use of indigenous plants further emphasize the event’s ecological commitment.

A standout feature is the expansive demonstration area for electric equipment. Here, visitors can experience first-hand how battery-powered lawn mowers, trimmers, and chainsaws are transforming landscape maintenance with zero-emission technology. Interactive presentations and live demonstrations offer in-depth insights into battery innovations and charging infrastructure, making this area a major draw for industry professionals.

The exhibition itself offers a wide array of products and services – from plants, seeds, and containers to machinery, tools, crop protection, and business equipment, as well as digital tools for marketing, customer retention, and operational optimization. A diverse range of exhibitors, from established companies to innovative start-ups, showcase their latest developments and solutions.

The accompanying conference program also sets high standards. Each year, it addresses new focal topics such as improving operational efficiency, enhancing digital presence, or building networks with clients and partners. Competitions, innovation awards, and networking events further promote professional exchange and highlight emerging talent in the industry.

As a key fixture in Canada’s trade show landscape, the Landscape Ontario Congress attracts not only professionals from Ontario but also an international audience – including landscapers, contractors, design firms, municipal decision-makers, and distributors. Despite its global relevance, the event remains rooted in the region, underscoring Ontario’s leadership role in sustainable green space development across North America.

The Toronto Congress Centre provides the perfect setting for this event: conveniently located near the airport, easily accessible by car, train, or public transport, and equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure for exhibitors and visitors from around the world. Anyone looking to experience the future of landscaping first-hand will find this show unmissable.

The Landscape Ontario Congress will take place on 3 days from Tuesday, 06. January to Thursday, 08. January 2026 in Toronto.
