Taking a glance inside the 2017 New England GROWS Show with the TurfCare™ Road Crew
December 19, 2017

At the end of November, the TurfCare™ Road Crew, including members of the Executive Team, Northeast Regional Sales Manager and the Marketing department set out to Boston, Massachusetts to participate in the 2017 New England GROWS show. At the show booth, the TCS Road Crew shared industry knowledge, revealed the new brand and look of GrowStar™ products and launched the exciting new additions to the AMP-XC™ Technology line-up, which now includes fertilizer and a liquid concentrate (available late 2017-early 2018). Upon visiting the booth, guests received a complimentary TurfCare™ notepad, had the opportunity to enter to win a case of AMP-XC™ Liquid Concentrate as well as walked away with a FREE 8oz sample of the NEW AMP-XC™ Liquid Concentrate!

After making a push to expand TurfCare™’s social media presence in 2017, TurfCare™ has enjoyed connecting with and was happy to have been visited, at the show, by one of our lawn care social media friends, Jay Fraser from Fraser Landscape. It was TurfCare™'s pleasure to meet with Jay, learn about his interests and passion for the industry as well as his service to his community. Jay has been in the green industry for 15 years and within the last three he started his own company, Fraser Landscape in Cape Code, MA. He began to gain his expansive green industry knowledge when he ran a lawn health care division for a large landscape company in Cape Cod. Check out Jay on Instagram (@fraserlandscape) for before & after’s, landscaping advice, giveaways, and typical days at Fraser Landscape. We also had a special visit from our good friend, JC the Lawn Care Guy who is a local from around the Boston area. Look for JC the Lawn Care Guy on Instagram (@jc_thelawnacareguy) for tips he shares as well as for his hashtag #LawnSquadNation. You can also subscribe to JC the Lawn Care Guy’s NEW YouTube Channel where he shares his passion, lawn care experiences and tips. You can even see a day in life at our manufacturing plant in Hatfield, MA where JC went on a tour.
The 2017 New England GROWS show was a great event for TurfCare™ to meet with a variety of landscape professionals, explain TurfCare™ services and discuss how TCS can better serve their community. Thanks to the TurfCare™ team for representing their company so well and a special thanks to all the event attendees and landscapers that stopped by the booth and made it a truly enjoyable and successful event! Also, another special shout out to all the partners, clients and friends who stopped by to share updates, ideas and catch up on industry news; it's always so nice to see everyone at this outstanding event.
Huge thanks once again to the New England GROWS staff, sponsors and attendees. It was great to meet all who visited our booth and we hope to see you next year.
