EVERGREEN is the American Public Gardens Association’s signature fundraising event through which we are able to provide outstanding professional development opportunities, benchmarking platforms, and essential programs for our members. Held during the Association’s 2023 Annual Conference celebrating New Horizons: Rising from Roots, this event is open to both Garden Directors and Conference attendees.

EVERGREEN will be held at the River Ranch Stockyards, which returns guests to “where the west began” in the spirit of cowboys and cattle drives. Steeped in the history of the famous Armour and Swift companies, River Ranch Stockyards has been transformed to host stylish western events in the heart of the world-renowned Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District.

Back by popular demand, Garden Directors will be able to gather for an invitation-only Director’s Dinner taking place at the River Ranch Stockyards. General Conference attendees will be invited to join in the fun at EVERGREEN via the Main Event, which is open to everyone. While the two events are taking place at the same time, they will be held in different venues within River Ranch Stockyards. Event tickets include appetizers, entrée dinner options, and refreshments from the bar.
