MANTS is an important part of our annual marketing. Our company believes in MANTS. And in terms of organization, it’s one of the best run shows in the country. Absolutely.

Jay Honeycutt Exhibitor Javo, Kennesaw, GA

Back by popular demand:I love coming to MANTS. I get to see so many of my current customers, gather new leads, catch up with old friends, make some new ones. It is one of the busiest shows I attend and I would not want to be anywhere else in January… except with my grandparents.

I’ve seen this show grow to eight times the size it once was. MANTS is probably the best show in the entire country, maybe in the entire world. There’s a large diversity of growers and other exhibitors. This show is great because you get the buyers from this region and from north of here. The timing is perfect, and it’s a very well run show.

Betsy Perlstein Exhibitor County Line Nurseries, Bridgeton, NJ

Today I wrote orders from buyers from Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania. The fact that so many attendees spend the night here means that they have time to return to my booth and complete their business. MANTS is the strongest regional trade show in the country.

Jay Bogash Exhibitor Massarelli’s, Hammonton, NJ

I heard someone say today that you kind of go from Christmas, to New Year’s to MANTS. You get to talk to friends, garden writers, landscapers, suppliers and garden center owners. It’s the one place where competitors aren’t competitors for a couple of days.

Carrie Engel Attendee Valley View Farms, Cockeysville/Hunt Valley, MD

It’s a wonderful way to kick off the year. The timing is perfect. This is the premier show that has stood the test of time. And it’s very well organized.

David Babcock Exhibitor Marco Products, Hunt Valley, MD

I’ve been with Monrovia for 27 years, and we’ve been exhibiting at MANTS the whole time. What we like about MANTS is that it is a show where we write business. It’s the right time of year, when people are reenergized after the holidays, and they are able to come out, see beautiful plant material, and get themselves ready for spring.

We’re a young nursery, so one of the first things we did was make sure we signed up for a booth at MANTS. In our market-ing budget, the thing that we get the most bang for the buck from is our presence at MANTS. It eclipses every other form of advertising, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The show is fabulously well run, and everyone is very friendly. I can’t say enough nice things about our experience at MANTS.

Steve Black Exhibitor Raemelton Farm, Potomac, MD

It’s a phenomenal show, the best show that we can go to. This is the show that the local people want to go to. Attendance is always great, the people are upbeat. It’s cold outside, but come inside and they’re all engaged. You can hear the optimism when you talk to the exhibitors and attendees. Yes, this is the show.

Ferenc Kiss Exhibitor Cavano’s Perennials, Kingsville, MD

To me, it’s the best garden show. It’s great to see your vendors and have face recognition. And every year I find something new here. A lot of the shows, it’s all repetition. But there’s always something new at MANTS, that’s why I enjoy coming every year.

Tyler Richardson AttendeeRichardson’s Floral Center, Newark, DE

My dad was part of the committee that got together with Carville Akehurst and formed MANTS. We’ve been coming ever since. It’s been very good for our business. There’s always been good traffic. It’s an A-1class show.

This is my first time at MANTS. Wow, if I came back every day, I don’t think I could see everything here. This is basically my main resource for my greenhouse. There’s a wealth of information here.

Sarah Blevins Attendee S.J. Blevins Berries, Hopewell Township, PA

MANTS is well organized. There’s a big draw from a long distance, so we get big coverage here. You get a lot of players in one room at one time, and we see the right people here. We feel that it is a valued expense for us to be here.

R.T Yancey Exhibitor Atlantic Tractor, Cecilton, MD

I come to MANTS every single year because it allows me to interact with vendors and learn about new products. This show is comprehensive. In one day you cannot walk the entire show. Everybody I need to see is here. This is the only show I go to, because when you’ve been to the best, why go to the rest?

Cristina Gouin-Paul AttendeeUSDA, Beltsville, MD and Greenstreet Growers, Lothian, MD

MANTS has a good, loyal customer base. We see new people here. The timing is perfect for our business. But it’s too cold–I want to go back to West Palm Beach.
