Since the beginning of time, gardens have served as points of escape with their colorful flowering blooms, lush greenery that exude feelings of tranquility and peace, which is the reason behind the 60th annual Garden Symposium: to celebrate gardens.
Gardens have gained much ground over the past few hundred years. Americans are extending more and more of their living space outdoors for both relaxation and entertainment. You won't want to miss the guest speakers lined up for this event, who will be discussing, in their own diverse ways, how their lives revolve around gardens.
