Darwin Perennials Day wasn’t just about plants, it was about possibilities. From colorful trial gardens to sneak peeks at 2026 stunners, the day bloomed with ideas. Add in lively panels, some good banter, and a violinist—and it felt less like work and more like a perennial party for plant people.
Cultivate ’25 was a blast! Columbus, OH, turned into the green industry’s playground: 650+ exhibitors, endless new plants, and more ideas than you could fit in a greenhouse. We learned, we laughed, we networked (a lot). If plants could talk, they’d say: “See you next year!”
SYNKD was honored to be on the ground for the official launch of the Takeuchi TL11R3, the latest evolution in compact track loaders. Hosted by regional product manager David Caldwell, the walkaround offered an exclusive first look (and drive!) at this robust machine engineered for the landscape industry's toughest demands.
This new model marks a milestone for Takeuchi, introducing electric-over-hydraulic (EH) controls—a first for the brand—along with a completely redesigned undercarriage tailored for high tractive effort across uneven terrain. For contractors, this means smoother performance and greater durability under pressure.
