2011 APGA Conference

The 2011 APGA Conference, scheduled for June 21–25 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, will be the place for us to spark a revolution in public gardens—to think differently and innovatively about how we cultivate not only our gardens, but our guests, staffs, donors, and communities.

MORE Time

Imagine the luxury of a work week that is only ever two days long, giving you a five full days off every week to relax and do anything you’d like. What would you do if you had that kind of time on your hands? More time… a very nice dilemma to have.

Well, unfortunately we can’t give you a two-day work week (that might not go over very well with your employers), but we can give you five full days at this year’s annual APGA conference to spend any way you like! More time… and you know what that means—more of everything!... a very nice dilemma to have, indeed!

  • More time to stop and smell the roses—at the Longwood Rose Garden, of course!
  • More time to take pleasure in the pleasure gardens amidst the world-renowned and enchanting woodlands and pastures of Chanticleer!;
  • More time, perhaps, to go out on a limb to do something different (Look up! No, it’s not Superman! It’s the Morris Arboretum’s Tree Adventure exhibit, and you’re about to find out what “interactive” really means!);
  • More time to meet and spend with More colleagues;
  • More time to discover all of the great garden initiatives taking place across the country and farther afield;
  • More time to discuss and debate the pressing issues of our time like childhood obesity and the role gardens can play in helping to reverse such dangerous trends;
  • More time to find out how social media—including YouTube—can revolutionize your interaction with volunteers, members, and the public in general.

Please join us this year at More: The APGA Revolutionary Conference in Philadelphia. With the newly organized conference schedule spanning a whole five days, there is much More time to fit much More in. So take your time, and choose those sessions that you know will give you the optimal APGA conference experience. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday… what will you do? A nice dilemma to have, indeed!
