What awaits you at the annual convention

• Immersive lilac experience featuring over 340 lilacs, including numerous rare cultivars and some Russian cultivars found nowhere else in the United States.
• Lodging, meeting space, and lilac collections on a shared site. Convenience means spending more time during the convention on the things that matter most to you.
• Ample time to explore lilacs, orchard, tree and prairie trails, the public park, and Arbor Lodge mansion ensures that you’ll make beautiful memories.
• Educational seminars and guided tours at the orchard, prairie, and mansion will facilitate new insights and meaningful experiences.
• Shared dining experiences with lilac friends, old and new, means that you’ll leave with a renewed spirit.
• Take home a piece of the Park or the Farm at the always-anticipated ILS Public Lilac Auction. The auction will include approximately 100 cultivars exclusively from the Arbor Lodge State Historical Park Lilac Collection and the Arbor Day Farm Lilac Collection. Auction plants include rare cultivars not found in any other public collection in North America.
• An all-inclusive registration fee that includes all meals, trolley transportation across the Farm and Park, multiple educational seminars, tours, and a courtesy bag with convention agenda, lilac collection information, other resources, and lilac-themed swag item(s).
