NEW FEATURE for 2011!
This year we will be offering a special Home Gardening mini-conference on Saturday morning. This event is included for all regular conference particiants, but can be attended for only $25.00. It will feature an introduction to home gardening by Linda Askey and a landscaping class by Randy Burroughs.  Participants can also attend keynote address on Outstanding Native Perennials with Allan Armitage.

On-campus lodging will once again be held at Norton Residence Hall. See photos and a brief description of Norton Hall.
Cullowhee, particularly in the summer, is a relaxed, informal community. We hope participants will plan to dress comfortably for the conference. You will be surrounded by lots of people in shorts, t-shirts, jeans, and sandals.
