Beginning in 1997, the Wisconsin Green Industry Federation (WGIF) began recognizing professionals who have made a significent impact to the green industry throughout their careers. Each year candidates are nominated by their respective associations and then submitted to the Hall of Fame Committee for review and final selection. Once the selection(s) have been determined, recipients are honored and celebrated at a special ceremony among their family, peers, and other industry leaders. The Commercial Growers of Wisconsin are proud to have had several members inducted into this prestigious hall through the years. Since the dissolve of the WGIF in 2018, the Wisconsin Nursery and Landscape Association (WNLA) carries on this rich and necessary tradition.
