On behalf of the Board of Directors, ASHS staff, Technical Committee, and volunteers, we welcome you to sunny Florida. We hope these next few days will be filled with information you can use, relaxation and reflection that will inspire your work, as well as good times with colleagues and new friends. If you are an undergraduate student, I hope you feel welcome, meet new colleagues and leave inspired to make a difference in horticultural science. Come to the Service Project on Monday morning, July 28, and meet fellow students. Talk to new people, go on a tour and see how many talks and posters you can review before your head starts to spin! May this conference help you fulfill your dreams. If you are a graduate student, I hope you find colleagues to challenge and collaborate with your research ideas and projects. You are in the perfect spot to meet leaders in horticulture, to network for your dream job and to expand your knowledge. I look forward to meeting you, since one of you will very likely be leading this society 10 years from today. If you are an active member, thank you for attending. With hundreds of abstracts to review and presentations crammed into a few days, it’s a busy time, with choices to make every hour! I hope the conference meets your needs. If you have a topic you think should be on the agenda, bring it up to the appropriate Working Group, or talk to me or another Board member. The Society is only as good as we, the active members, make it. If you are an emeritus member, thank you for your continued attendance. You are one of the reasons our Society remains strong. I urge you to reach out to the students here and welcome them, ask what they are interested in and tell them what horticulture means to you. When you leave the conference this year, I hope you will feel the importance of ASHS, have learned about the new national initiative to promote horticulture, and feel inspired, refreshed and renewed. Remember the value and fulfillment of the Conference begins with you Sincerely, Mary Hockenberry Meyer ASHS President 2014 ASHS Annual Conference 1 ASHS Annual Conference July 28–31, 2014 • Orlando, FL Contents General Information Welcome letter from ASHS President Conference Facilities: All conference activities will take Mary H.
