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.

APGA Service Event: There's Still Time To Give MORE in Philadelphia

It's not too late to register for the APGA Service Event on Thursday, June 23, from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m.!

APGA has partnered with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) on a Service Project in Philadelphia. This a great opportunity to get outside, explore part of Philadelphia, and help to maintain the historic Azalea Garden on the grounds of the Philadelphia Art Museum. Board a trolley at the hotel and arrive at the Azalea Garden where you will learn about the history of the garden space, the important work PHS does, and be given a how-to on azalea pruning, and then will be set to work to give some much-needed TLC to a historic urban garden.


Attendees are invited to help prune some of the thousands of woody plants in the Azalea Garden. This is a special chance to see the collection at close range and to help PHS keep the garden in tip-top shape.

New to pruning?

Don’t worry, PHS Staff will be on hand for training! Tools and refreshments will be provided at the site. This opportunity is limited to 40 people, so SIGN UP NOW to ensure your participation in this important project.

To register, contact Kathy Salisbury at
ksalisbury@publicgardens.org or by phone at 610.708.3009.
