St. Louis Hosts the 2009 Perennial Plant Symposium

Bill Ruppert, Co-Chair of the PPA 2009 Symposium Site Committee, enjoyed the opportunity to assist with the realization of a successful 2009 Perennial Plant Symposium, now a wonderful memory.  Bill and Cindy Gilberg co-chaired the effort to suggest effective local and national speakers, identify and manage logistics for the best-of-the-best Gateway region tour sites associated with 6 professional tours, provide tour guide assistance as "bus captains", plan and expedite over 120 combination container garden displays, and create plant displays for three regional plant awareness programs (Plants of Merit, Grow Native! and ShowMe Rain Gardens).
