Get Personal and Professional Pointers in Perennials Production

perennial professionalsThe Perennial Plant Association (PPA) has announced that its Canadian and U.S. Great Lakes Regional Symposia have joined forces to present a Fall Virtual Symposium on Oct. 15. “Perennial Professionals at Work and Play: Canada and U.S. Great Lakes Edition” has been developed in partnership with Landscape Ontario, Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, and Royal Botanic Gardens.

Coming on the heels of the well-received Winter Virtual Symposium that focused on the same theme, growers can join six industry-leading professionals, all located in the Canadian and U.S. Great Lakes area, as they explore popular current topics in perennial professionals’ careers and then dive in for a more personal connection when they share favorite aspects of their private home and work gardens. Attendees can participate in chats, polls, and ask questions throughout the event to stay engaged. A bonus to this event is a top 10 perennials plant list from each presenter.
