Important Announcement Gathering of the Green 2026

Instead of having the next Gathering of the Green in 2024, we are planning our next event for 2026. As they say on the radio, stay tuned for more announcements including dates, location and related details. The Gathering Planning Board and the dozens of volunteers thank you for your support and kindness over the years – you folks are the inspiration that keeps us excited about planning the next conference. We look forward to seeing you in 2026! Gathering of the Green Planning Board
Thank you, if you attended the March 2022 Gathering of the Green Conference in the Quad Cities. The planning board would like to thank our 1148 full conference registrants, 1253 guests that came for a day or two, the 68 vendors that filled the RiverCenter, our committed volunteers and planning committee chairs, and 55 workshop leaders that made our 2022 reunion of John Deere enthusiasts from 32 states, and 5 countries an amazing experience. We especially want to recognize everyone that attended and participated in the Fun Auction on Friday, and the Banquet Auction on Saturday. We were able to generate a sizeable amount of funds to start planning the next Gathering of the Green thanks to your generosity. Email us at info@gatheringofthegreen.com to be added to our mailing list and be the first to know about the next Gathering of the Green Conference dates and plans. The planning board would also love to hear from you regarding ideas for workshop content, or other comments or ideas for future gatherings.
