Seminars
Created by the Oregon Association of Nurseries - your local plant and landscape experts - offers over 45 hours of free educational seminars that will be sure to turn the thumb of any gardener to a permanent shade of green. Whether you are an avid gardener or just beginning, there are seminars for you. These seminars offer a diverse schedule of topics and a dynamite speaker lineup, such as Today Show contributor P. Allen Smith.
In addition to the many seminars focused on local plant material in Oregon, there are four seminar series easily identified for your lifestyle:
Sustainable gardening: whether you are currently practicing sustainable gardening or you are interested in transitioning to a sustainable home garden, this is the series for you. Water conservation, soil development, organic maintenance and working with nature to make your garden the best it can be are just some of these topics.
Edible plants: From vegetables and fruits to herbs this series includes a wide variety of gardening techniques and tips to help bring your garden into your kitchen. Creating a design to incorporate edible plants is easier then you may think! 
Small space gardening: Don't have the space or time to maintain a large yard and garden? No need! This year's Small space gardening series has something for everyone. Whether you have a small balcony garden or just looking to add something small to your backyard this is the series for you. Maximizing color, design and impact in a small space is just a container or too away. 
Landscape Design: You'll have the outdoor living space of your dreams after gleaning ideas that you can start applying to your landscape right away.
Sessions take place all three days of the show: Friday-Sunday, February 27 - March 1, in the Oregon Convention Center's "B" hall.
Seminars are free!
