Montana Cut Flower Association Workshop @ the Montana Green Expo
Tuesday, January 6th, 2026
Billings, MT
8:00 am - 4:00 pm
The Montana Cut Flower Association has teamed up with the Montana Nursery & Landscape Association (MNLA) to bring you an event that will bring the horticulture industry together and plant the seeds for success. We are proud to once again offer the great programming you have come to expect from the Montana Cut Flower Association (MCFA), and also open up the Montana Green Expo conference to you as well; all MCFA members are eligible to register at the MNLA member discounted rate.
Join us in the new year, where we will bring in industry experts to highlight best practices, explore innovative and creative business solutions, and help you grow your business.
Whether you're training crew members or looking to fine-tune your own skills, this workshop will give you tools and knowledge you can implement this season. Your workshop registration includes a full day of programming, lunch, and entrance to the trade show and Welcome Reception at the Montana Green Expo. After the workshop, you can opt-in to even more learning by registering for the Montana Green Expo conference that will be held on the two days following the workshop.
