As we prepare to enjoy The Big Easy and all of its historic charms, it is important to celebrate the city’s rebirth and cultural renewal. It is only fitting that the American Society for Horticultural Science return with its 112th annual conference to New Orleans on the ten-year anniversary of the tragic event of Hurricane Katrina. Proudly the American Society for Horticultural Science was one of the very first organizations to return to New Orleans with a major conference following Hurricane Katrina! While other organizations abandoned the city in the wake of the damage from Katrina, the American Society for Horticultural Science held to its commitment to bring the 2006 Annual Conference to New Orleans. Many of our members had family or friends, particularly those associated with Louisiana State University and Mississippi State University, who suffered terribly from the storm. By honoring our commitment to New Orleans for the 2006 Annual Conference we, in a small way, helped with the recovery. Now ten years later we return to celebrate a revitalized and vibrant city, rich in tradition and looking to a bright future. So prepare to enjoy an outstanding technical program featuring leading horticultural scientists, educators, and extension professionals from around the country. Sample the finest foods and greatest jazz the world has to offer in the easy going style that is New Orleans. Enjoy the Cajun cuisine, historic French and Spanish Creole architecture and multicultural heritage that imbue the city. Be sure to visit the French Quarter, world class aquarium, classic zoo, historic botanic garden, and fabled Bourbon Street, in between talks or after hours of course. On behalf of the Board of Directors of the American Society for Horticultural Science, welcome to “Nawlins” and the 2015 Conference of the American Society for Horticultural Science!
