Perennial Plant Association Southern Region Symposium set for Oct. 5

PPA's symposium, the first in 20 years, will focus on green energy sustainability.

From Halleck Horticultural

Designers, landscapers, growers, and retailers in the South face growing challenges when it comes to navigating the impact of extreme weather conditions. Intense heat, drought and flooding are impacting both how we do business, what we sell and the landscapes we create. We’ve brought together an inspiring and knowledgeable group of speakers to address sustainability challenges and solutions across each area of our industry. With a focus on perennials, speakers will cover plant trialing resources, heat and drought tolerant plant selections, landscape restoration, sustainability and bio-controls for growers, supply chain issues and solutions for landscapers and retailers, plus using native plants for color. Join us to learn some important information to help your business adapt to sustainability concerns. It’s been 20 years since the PPA hosted a Southern Region Symposium. 

In conjunction with All-America Selections SUMMER SUMMIT. PPA Participants can also register for the AAS events.
