Registration is now open for the Perennial Plant Association (PPA)’s 2022 National Symposium. After a brief hiatus of the in-person annual Symposium, PPA is heading to Lancaster, PA, for a week designed to highlight the wonders of perennial plants, from tours of public and private gardens to education crafted for diverse industry interests. The National Symposium will be hosted at the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square from August 1-5, with tours exploring into the surrounding areas.

Speaker highlights include:
- Paul Redman of Longwood Gardens

The PPA Symposium follows traditions started more than 30 years ago, and incorporates something new each year.
“This Symposium will bring it: all the fabulous tours, talented speakers, and networking fun attendees have come to expect it,” says Holly Scoggins, PPA Board President. “We cannot wait to reconvene with our PPA friends, both old and new.”
Health and safety measures will be implemented for the protection of all participants at the National Symposium. PPA is planning the event with mitigation strategies in mind and encourages interest growers to visit the Safety & FAQ page to learn more here. The early bird registration deadline is June 24, 2022, and final registration deadline is July 22, 2022. For more information on the National Symposium and to register, click here.
