All-America Selections and National Garden Bureau, in partnership with the Home Garden Seed Association, will host a joint meeting with attendees from all three organizations, in Vancouver B.C.

The event will take place September 8-11, 2020, at Westin Wall Centre in Richmond, B.C. conveniently located just a short (free) shuttle ride from the Vancouver International airport.

Site visits for tours include West Coast Seeds, Minter’s Country Gardens, Van Belle Nursery, Qualitree Propagators, VanDusen Botanic Garden, UBC’s Botanical Garden, Emma Lea Farms, Westham Island Herb Farm and much more!

NOTE: The AAS Judge’s Meeting will be held Saturday morning, September 12, from 7:00-9:00 a.m. so you can still enjoy the day sightseeing, if you choose.

Sneak preview: this year’s banquet will have a special theme in honor of National Garden Bureau’s 100th anniversary. Stay tuned and plan accordingly! 🙂

WARNING: You will want to plan your visit to stay additional days! We will plan 2.25 days for you but there is so much more to see! (Note: the Westin will extend our special room rate of CAN$239 through Saturday)

Then there’s whale watching…

And Salmon spawning and migration…

And a trip north to Whistler…

And downtown Vancouver…
