Registration for morning workshop sessions and the keynote address opens March 2 and is online only (limited seats; no on-site registration). Afternoon workshop sessions do not require registration and are first come, first seated on event day.

This year's Wilbur A. Levin Keynote Address will be given by Kofi Thomas—community gardener, public speaker, and comedian. Says Thomas: “I believe we can fight for the land and for each other with a smile... as long as we look to nature for the lessons that teach us how to care for one another. Lessons like interdependence, resilience, and harmony. In fact, without the principles embodied in our gardens, there would be no community.”
