The 73rd Annual IPPS Eastern Region Conference was an incredible success, thanks to the participation of our dedicated members, new attendees, and generous sponsors. With engaging tours, inspiring keynote speakers, and a focus on collaboration and learning, this year’s event truly embodied our mission to “Seek and Share.”

Join the Plant Propagation Workshop Series to learn the fundamentals of sexual, vegetative, and micropropagation from Dr. Mark Bridgen, a Cornell University professor with over 30 years of teaching experience. Running from January 22 to March 19, 2025, this Zoom-based series offers in-depth modules that cover everything from seed propagation to micropropagation techniques. Whether you're interested in attending individual modules or the full series, this is a great opportunity to enhance your skills and knowledge in plant propagation!

A message from our new IPPS Eastern Region President, Shelby French, reflects on the recent conference, shares seed-collecting season highlights, and looks ahead to engaging young and new members.
