The 25th Davidson Horticultural Symposium celebrates this special anniversary by examining the evolution of the garden, providing both a reflective and a futuristic look at garden design and procedures.

Historically, gardens were planned to meet physical, social, and cultural demands; today's gardeners must also meet those demands in both personal and community gardens. Practical gardeners want to know how to deal with issues of water and rural pests in urban sites. Artistic gardeners seek the pleasure of growing new ornamentals and vegetables and of using creative designs that work today. 

Join us as we reflect on the past, explore future opportunities and glean solutions for the gardens for our time.
