Society Convention. The convention
will begin on Thursday afternoon when the vendors open. The evening will conclude with the
hostatality suite where we will be able to renew friendships and meet new
friends.
Friday
will feature a Hosta Leaf Show, a major attraction. Vendors will also be open for members and the public, so come
early to get first choice. Friday
evening, a banquet will be held, followed by the plant auction. Plans are being made for education seminars
during the morning on Friday also.
Saturday
will begin with a tour of four great gardens, all of which have been on Master
Gardener Walks or Bus Trips, and Allerton Park. We'll return to the hotel in the afternoon followed by a Saturday
evening banquet and fun speaker.
Plant
and other garden vendors from across the country will be open Thursday evening,
all day Friday, and after 2 on Saturday.
The leaf show will be open after the judging on Friday and after 2 on
Saturday. Each evening will end with
refreshments in the hostatality suite.
Before
leaving on Sunday for home, directions will be provided for more gardens that
will be available for you to tour on your own.
For
the times when you want other things to do, Champaign, Urbana, and the
University of Illinois have museums, nurseries, and other great activities for
you to enjoy. We will include all that
information in your welcome packets.
