Calscape 2010 was held in San Diego, CA in Sept 2010. This year Greenery was recognized with Awards of Excellence for the installation of the Winter Garden and an Award of Excellence for the Living Wall.

With over 400 attendees, this annual conference continues to be a tremendous source of industry information and the trade show keeps us informed on upcoming trends and the latest technology. Our cutting edge project, The Living Wall, was certainly the talk of the conference.

Global Calgary's story about the Living Wall Project

Global Calgary Story about the Living Wall Project

Joanne Young and Rennie Gotell were interviewed by Global TV's Gil Tucker (September 18 2010) at the new Jamieson Building Living Wall.

At the end of the story, Gil Tucker speculated about a name for the largest Living Wall in Western Canada (if not the country).

Joanne Young and Linda Anderson at Calscape 2008

Once again we attended our annual industry conference, which was held in Palm Springs this year. In the past Greenery has been recognized for our award winning projects such as the Hyatt Regency Hotel, the Sheraton Eau Claire and Fluor Canada. This year we decided that we should recognize one of our own. Linda Anderson, a 13 year employee with Greenery received an award for her outstanding horticultural work and dedication. We would like to send out a special thank you to all of Linda's clients who responded with tremendous letters of support. After the conference, Linda, Jacinthe, Rennie and his wife Joanne enjoyed a few days of the California sun and beach. Since this was Linda's first time on a plane, you can imagine that this experience was extraordinary.

Stampede Fun with Greenery Staff

Greenery hosted Stampede Breakfast and took part in the Chickwagon Foundation's 10 th year participating in the Rangeland Derby Chuckwagon races.

Once again Greenery hosted our annual Stampede breakfast with good food and fun! Thanks to our organizers, Kelly and Jacinthe, the food was terrific. We also had an out of town visitor from Burnaby Lake Greenhouse, our plant supplier.

Stampede Fun with the Chickwagon Foundation

The Chickwagon Foundation for Women continues to support the YWCA and the Calgary Women's Emergency Shelter through the Chickwagon Trust fund. In addition to the Trust Fund, a graduate scholarship to a Master's student in Social Work at the University of Calgary has been established to focus on education and how it relates to Domestic Violence. Since the Chickwagon was established, the Chicks have given back over $500,000 to charity in donations and gifts in kind. Greenery is proud to support the Chickwagon in the Scholarship Fund.
