About the Ornamental Workshop ...The Ornamental Workshop has served as a forum for plant pathologists and entomologists to discuss current disease and insect problems facing those concerned with the production, maintenance and regulation of ornamental crops. The informal atmosphere provided by the rustic setting at the NC Forest Service Training Facility, Crossnore, NC, saw participation grow from about 10 participants in 1976, to over 150 in 2004. In 2004, the Ornamental Workshop changed venues to the mountain retreat facilities at the Kanuga Conference Center near Hendersonville, NC. The facilities at the Kanuga Conference Center are ideal for the workshop and have allowed us to increase the number of participants who can be accommodated. As a preview of the Kanuga Conference Center facilities, please take the virtual tour. Who should attend? ...Plant pathologists and entomologists interested in ornamental crops.
