[PCA] 20th Annual Lahr Symposium & Plant Sale

[Lindsay Hicks]

20th Annual Lahr Symposium
Native Plants: Cultivating a Sustainable Future
March 25, 8:30am-3:30pm 
U. S. National Arboretum, Administration Building Auditorium
3501 New York Ave. NE
Washington, DC    20002

Continuing in the 20-year tradition of the Lahr Symposium, this
year’s program brings together thought provoking topics concerning
the natural world and our human attempts to be a positive presence in
nature’s garden. The day’s speakers will address our understanding
of what is—and is not—native; the conditions under which natural
diversity flourishes; and how our personal landscapes can be transformed
from mere ornamental spaces to be become genuine environmental assets.
Symposium participants can shop early—8-10am—at the Native Plant
Sale. For program brochure, fees, and symposium registration form, call
