More than 45 educational seminars planned for Farwest Show

The 2023 Farwest Show, taking place Aug. 23-25 in Portland, Oregon, will offer more than 45 educational seminars covering topics including plant pests, climate resiliency, soil and water quality, and pesticide safety for bees. Continuing education credits are available.

“Farwest is a tremendous educational value,” said Allan Niemi, director of events at the Oregon Association of Nurseries. “We have chosen a wide variety of presenters and topics to best serve a variety of green industry sectors — growers, retailers, and landscapers to name just a few. Companies sending employees from beginners up to the most senior levels will find something beneficial and informative to send workers to, and our all-access passes deliver it all at a reasonable cost.”

“Our continuing education seminars will engage participants in an array of topics for landscape professionals, arborists, and retailers,” said Mary Claire Lamm, event and education manager. “Free mini-sessions will take place at the Solution Center right on the trade show floor with pruning and topiary demonstrations to provide practical approaches to challenges green industry professionals face.”
