Have you ever looked out over the lush, meticulously designed landscapes of Atlanta and across Georgia and wondered who planted the seeds for our thriving professional urban ag industry?
The remarkable growth and innovation of Georgia’s modern landscape, turfgrass, and horticulture sectors didn’t happen by chance. This transformation was cultivated by the vision, sweat, and dedication of true industry pioneers.
UAC is proud to announce "Industry Icons," a brand-new recurring feature that will appear in every issue of our new bi-annual print publication, Industry Insights Magazine, beginning in June 2026.
In each edition, we will shine a spotlight on the trailblazers who shaped Georgia's modern landscape industry from the ground up. From visionary landscape professionals and groundbreaking turfgrass researchers and producers, to the dedicated growers and nursery owners who brought new life to our Southern soil, we will honor the individuals whose legacies continue to bloom today.
These are the mentors, the innovators, and the bedrock of our profession. Our June edition will feature four remarkable leaders – UAC members will find it in their mailboxes in early June.
Join us twice a year as we dig into the stories of these remarkable leaders. Get ready to celebrate our roots, honor the giants whose shoulders we stand on, and find inspiration as we continue to grow the future of Georgia's landscape, turfgrass and horticulture industry.
Look for our very first "Industry Icons" spotlight in the upcoming issue of Industry Insights Magazine!
