AI-drafted summaryThe Landscape Expo (TLE) is a regional trade show and educational conference in Anaheim, California, serving landscape professionals from every facet of the green industry. The 2026 edition, marking the show's 20th anniversary, takes place November 4-5 at the Anaheim Convention Center and features more than five acres of exhibits, live equipment demonstrations, seminars, workshops, and panel discussions.
The show draws a broad professional audience, including landscape superintendents and groundskeepers, business owners and contractors, landscape architects and designers, facility and grounds managers, and arbor care and irrigation specialists. Attendees come from cities, school districts, universities, parks departments, cemeteries, stadiums, amusement parks, and zoos across the western United States.

With very low admission pricing, it is an accessible event for entire crews and teams.
