Overview:
This symposium/short course,
co-sponsored by Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden (LGBG) and the
Central Virginia Nursery and Landscape Association (CVNLA), is the
centerpiece of a joint anniversary celebration. For the Garden, it
represents the first of a four-part symposium series in 2009 to mark its
25th anniversary celebration. For CVNLA the event serves both as its
annual Winter Short Course and the highlight of the association’s 40th
anniversary year.
Pesticide recertification training will take
place on Friday and will apply to categories 3A, 3B, 8, 10, 60, and 91.
Description:
Are we living in an era of
extreme changes in climate? Or are green industries, as always,
re-examining horticultural best practices in light of an ever-changing
climate? "The right plant in the right place" takes on heightened
meaning when we realize that our USDA zone reference points are
gradually changing. The world of horticulture is being transformed by
environmental, societal, and technological changes; the boundaries of
our know-ledge and practice are being tested by the challenges of
introduced insects and pathogens, invasive plants, and the shifting
climate. This symposium focuses on how design and operational practices
can serve as models for sustainability and environmental stewardship and
turn today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities.
Who Should Attend:
Green business owners and their
staffs, master gardeners, and sophisticated amateur gardeners.
Registration :
Registration begins in
November. Check www.lewisginter.org

 In addition to the two years of credit for
pesticide recertification, the short course is
eligible for CEU's
for Virginia Certified Horticulturist!
