Biennial Conference on Restoring Southern Gardens and Landscapes
Every two years, Southern Garden History Society co-sponsors a Conference on Restoring Southern Gardens and Landscapes in Winston-Salem, NC. The conference co-sponsors include Old Salem Museums & Gardens and Reynolda House Museum of American Art.
The conference’s mission is to discuss historical horticulture, garden history, and landscape restoration in the southern states.
