The Farwest Show is deep into the planning of its 40th annual event. The 2012 show will celebrate the genus Acer and brings back many of the programs visitors enjoy.
From petite Acer palmatum to stately shade trees, many different species and cultivars will be installed in special displays at this year’s Farwest Show, whose host, the Oregon Association of Nurseries (OAN), plans to showcase the breadth of Acer plants grown in the region for use in residential, municipal and commercial landscapes. “We want to inspire and educate attendees and persuade our industry to see the design value the Acer family brings to the landscape,” OAN director of marketing Ann Murphy said. “We intend to showcase Acer species, crosses and cultivars from small to large growers, encouraging as many Farwest Show exhibitors to participate as possible,” Murphy said.
This year’s show will also include two days of nursery tours, networking events, 30 hours of seminars, a New Varieties Showcase with nearly 50 new plants, a New Products Showcase, a Demo Stage, and a Retail Marketplace offering gift items geared to garden centers.
The 2012 Farwest Show will take place August 23-25 at the Oregon Convention Center, in Portland, Oregon. GP
