Who Are The Yellow Shirt People?
These are local volunteers (GWA members, landscape architects, industry employees, master gardeners, etc.) who are symposium bus captains, garden guides or local arrangements committee members. They have worked very hard to make sure your visit is enjoyable and that you see the maximum amount in the time available. The symposium wouldn’t be nearly as enticing or as successful without the hard work and local connections provided by the Local Arrangements Committee and Chairs. This group of volunteers has worked for 1-2 years (and sometimes longer) to put together the story tour destinations, suggested locally prominent speakers, assembled the registration packets, often suggested venues for evening events, recruited bus captains and garden guides, and much more.
