Upcoming Symposium Will Highlight the Wonders of Perennial Plants
March 9, 2023 
Registration is now open for the Perennial Plant Association (PPA)’s 2023 National Symposium. PPA is heading to Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, 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, this is an ideal event for perennial plant people. The National Symposium will be hosted at the Sheraton Fallsview in Niagara Falls, Ontario, from July 24-28, with tours exploring the surrounding areas.
Participants will have the opportunity to attend education, tours, socials, an evening garden dinner, plus a trade show, and can choose to participate in the weeklong experience (Monday-Friday), or a three-day Core Symposium (Tuesday-Wednesday).
Speaker highlights include:
- Mark and Ben Cullen, Expert Garden Communicators
- Gary Lewis of Phoenix Perennials
- Dr. Allan Armitage, Renowned Horticulturist, Researcher, and Speaker (and Greenhouse Grower Contributing Editor)
- Tony Spencer of The New Perennialist
- Patrick Cullina of Patrick Cullina Horticultural Design and Consulting
Tour attractions incorporate:
- Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens and Butterfly Conservatory
- Sheridan Nurseries
- Terra Watertown
- Kayanase Nursery and Ecological Restoration
- Watering Can Flower Market
Plan on making lasting connections during evening visits and social events, which include the Royal Botanical Gardens’ Rock Garden for a special tour and dinner. PPA’s National Symposium follows traditions started more than 30 years ago, but incorporates something new each year.
PPA’s Board of Directors is eagerly anticipating the upcoming National Symposium and is impressed by the Local Planning Committee’s dedicated hard work to offer top-notch education and tours to Symposium attendees.
“This will be a can’t-miss immersion into the fantastic horticulture scene in and around the Niagara Falls area,” says Holly Scoggins, PPA Board President. “We are so grateful to our PPA Canada Region Director and site committee for making this unique opportunity possible.”
