The 21st Annual Southern Garden Symposium & Workshops
October 16 & 17, 2009
St. Francisville, LA
It is with great pleasure that we celebrate the 21st occasion of the Southern Garden Symposium. For over two decades we have brought world-renown garden experts to share their knowledge and expertise with southern garden enthusiasts in the picturesque community of St. Francisville, Louisiana.
 Our 2009 program promises to be one of the most diverse ever. From workshops on floral design and azaleas to programs on heirloom plants, garden design, and more, there is something for just about everyone. This years’ speakers include some returning favorites as well as others making their first ever appearance in Louisiana. All are recognized leaders in their field. Additional information may be found in this brochure.
As in previous years, we will offer for sale the finest garden books and tools as well as an array of southern plants to satisfy every desire. In addition, Saturday’s silent auction will be full of fantastic wares. Unique plants, garden art, hand-made benches, gourmet dinners, and overnight stays at historic bed and breakfasts are among some of the potential bargains available.
Over the years, proceeds from the Southern Garden Symposium have funded numerous projects including scholarships in the School of Landscape Architecture at L.S.U., a revitalization project for historic Ferdinand Street in St. Francisville, sponsorship of the kitchen garden at Audubon State Historic Site (Oakley House), funding for plantings and benches at Rosedown Plantation State Historic Site, and others. We do hope you will join us for our 21st year and help support these worthy causes.
