New Perennial Plant Society Meeting Place

In response to a membership survey and feedback, the PPS board has decided to relocate our meetings to the Ed Jones Auditorium at Ellington Agricultural Center in Nashville.  The auditorium has been recently renovated, and there is ample parking.  Time for meetings remains the same.  We will also continue the plant swap.  We would also like to encourage anyone who wishes to bring a treat to share.  Social hospitality will still begin at 6:30 p.m., with the formal meeting beginning at 7:00 p.m.
