We’re excited to share that our long-time collaborator, Stacie Zinn Roberts of What’s Your Avocado? Marketing & Public Relations, has received two national Merit Awards from the 2025 National Agricultural Marketing Awardsfor excellence in website strategy and branding.
The winning projects? HorizonTurfNursery.com and Mach1Greens.com — both proudly developed by OlivSEO in partnership with Stacie, with visual designs led by Cynthia from CynthiaCreative.
What Are the TOCA Awards?
Presented annually by the Turf & Ornamental Communicators Association, the TOCA Awards recognize excellence in marketing and communications across the green industry, including turf, landscaping, golf, and ornamental horticulture. The awards honor work in public relations, writing, graphic design, digital media, and more—making them one of the most respected accolades in the industry.
To be recognized by TOCA is a strong endorsement of creativity, clarity, and craftsmanship within the specialized world of turf and ornamental communications.
