GPGB is proud to once again sponsor the Interior Plant Identification Competitive Event at the 2026 National Collegiate Landscape Competition (NCLC), in partnership with The Plant Professionals, who will also present a Biophilic Interiors Workshop on our behalf.

Hosted by the National Association of Landscape Professionals, NCLC is North America’s largest annual competition and career-building event for landscape and horticulture students. Taking place March 18–21, 2026 at Michigan State University, this dynamic event brings together students, faculty, and industry leaders for hands-on competitions, expert-led workshops, a premier Career Fair, scholarship opportunities, and meaningful networking experiences that help launch careers and connect companies with emerging talent.

Supporting student engagement at NCLC is more than sponsorship—it’s an investment in the future of our industry. By teaching plant identification, biophilic design principles, and the value of interior plants in the built environment, we strengthen the knowledge base that fuels innovation, sustainability, and long-term industry growth. Educating and inspiring students today ensures a more informed, skilled, and forward-thinking green industry tomorrow.

Whether participating in competitions, leading workshops, recruiting top talent, or mentoring the next generation, NCLC represents a powerful opportunity to advance both education and industry excellence.
