The 2016 Farwest Show, August 25-27, in Portland, OR, and its ‘Women in Horticulture’ networking event will bring women in horticulture together to establish connections, share opportunities, and encourage involvement to advance the industry.

The event will celebrate the vital roles women are playing in today’s business and spotlight the life and work of featured guest, Jenny Peterson, garden designer and owner of J. Peterson Garden Design.

The gathering takes place on Friday, August 26 from 3:30p-5p in VIP Room B at the Oregon Convention Center. Women professionals from across the industry and nation will mix and mingle in a time of sharing and will have a chance to visit with Peterson and learn more about her work and life.
