Each year, GROW prepares over 150 new workers for the landscape and horticulture workforce.
Landscape Ontario designed GROW Training for New Workers to increase the landscape and horticulture workforce in Ontario. The program provides training designed to prepare new workers for their first jobs in the industry.
Participants train in real-world conditions using the industry's most common tools and equipment as they learn in-demand skills and techniques from today's industry professionals.
