Welcome Attendees!    

Thank you for Coming!

This is the fourth year of our unique, industry-only, tradeshow and conference.  Whatever your interest in ornamental horticulture, HPX2009 showcases exceptional tropical plantscaping materials, services and educational opportunities.

Homestead Plant Exhibition and Conference can help you…

   - Find plants and services that will distinguish you from your competitors
   - Reduce your marketing costs
   - Acquire knowledge and techniques from leaders in their field
   - Meet customer-specific needs or wants

Miami Dade County is home to a $2 billion ornamental horticulture industry … growers raise orchids, royal palms … and everything in between!  Bordered on three sides by water, South Florida's singular micro-environment allows us to grow material that cannot be found anywhere else in the US! 

HPX highlights the incredibly diverse array of tropical ornamentals produced by our 1300 nurseries.  Comprising 20% of Florida's $9.2 billion ornamental horticulture industry, the Miami/Homestead area has produced plants for Euro-Disney, Dubai, Canada and the Canary Islands; reforesting the Gulf coast; building resorts throughout the Caribbean; as well as supplying landscapers, nurseries, designers, garden centers, maintenance firms, and city and county governments in Florida and throughout the US.  

HPX2009 is the resource to identify precisely what you need and assist you in getting it!

Along with our many sponsors, we welcome you to an event of which we are very proud.  We believe you will learn, enjoy, and be able to grow your business!
