The event begins with a Welcome Reception at the host hotel on Tuesday, September 5.
Wednesday, September 6, will be a “road trip” to the Chilliwack area to visit growers (VanBelle Nursery and Qualitree, to name two) and retailers (including Minter Gardens) in that region.
Thursday, September 7, there will be tours of West Coast Seeds and other horticulture businesses in the flat and fertile Delta area.
Friday, September 8, will be the grand finale, touring in and around the wonderfully multi-cultural city of Vancouver.
Extending your stay is strongly encouraged by the organization to visit other popular tourist and industry destinations in the area. The discounted hotel rate is valid from September 2-September 13.
