The Horticultural Encounter®, co-hosted by TreeTown USA and the Tree Place, originally scheduled to take place March 17-18 in Fort Worth, Texas, has been postponed for now.

According to the promoters, guests at the Horticultural Encounter??????+ will discover new and tried-and-true plants and trees, tour through displays showcasing plants best suited for today's landscape situations and learn about tree pruning and care. At the end of the event, they will be invited to select a plant to trial in their own garden - a unique opportunity to try a brand-new plant to later give valuable feedback on its performance in the landscape.
