Since 1972, the Garden has consistently offered high-quality educational programs, and now the School of the Chicago Botanic Garden is more dedicated than ever to give you the opportunity to hear from leaders in the industry. Symposia and conferences allow you to attend a single- or multi-day program on a specific topic ranging from stone in the landscape or plant conservation issues to horticulture therapy or youth gardening. Symposia vary from general interest subjects appropriate for the general public to technical matters better suited for practitioners and academicians. All participants will have the opportunity to learn from both national and international experts and ample time to network with your gardening peers or professional colleagues. Continuing education units (CEUs) from professional associations are available for most symposia and conferences.
