NCPNR – Annual Tier II meeting

Double Delight

Dear NCPNR participants,

The NCPNR will be meeting at the Headquarters of the American Rose Society in Shreveport, LA. This facility has 65 rose gardens with 20,000 rose bushes. Founded in 1892, the American Rose Society is the oldest single plant horticultural society in America. The ARS is an educational, nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to the cultivation and enjoyment of roses. ARS supports its members by providing educational programs, resourceful publications, and continuing research. The ARS has more than 300 affiliated rose societies in our national network.

For the upcoming meeting of the NCPNR in Shreveport, LA on the 28th and 29th of June, we have arranged a block of rooms for participants at the Fairfield Inn. Please see the information below.

If you are flying to Shreveport, there is an airport in Shreveport but it may be less expensive to fly into the Dallas-Fort Worth airport and rent a car and drive (~3 hours) to Shreveport.
