Celebrating 50 Years of TPIE - Chris Beytes and Mike Raimondi

In this episode, guest host Chris Beytes reflects with Mike Raimondi on the small group of nursery owners who, sitting around Mike’s kitchen table, founded the Tropical Plant International Expo (TPIE) 50 years ago. 

As the nation's largest state nursery and landscape association, FNGLA represents Florida's nursery and landscape industry which generated $31.4 billion total output sales in 2020 and directly employed 266,000+ people.
