The Governing Board has approved the candidacy of the city of Murcia as organizer and headquarters of the XLVII National Congress of Parks and Public Gardens, PARJAP 2020.
These days, organized by the Spanish Association of Parks and Public Gardens (AEPJP) every year in different parts of the Spanish geography, are celebrated this 2018 in Estepona, and in 2019 will take place in Santander.
Murcia could be the next venue for this event that has already gathered 400 park and garden technicians in previous editions.
The city has multiple parks and gardens where you can make technical visits, some of them of special interest such as the Floridablanca Garden, declared a Cultural Interest in the Historic Garden category in 2017, or the Malecón garden and promenade, BIC since 1982. Murcia also has the last urban vestige of what was a Hispanic-Muslim garden in the Huerto López Ferrer.
After the success of Murcia organizing this congress of the AEPJP in 1998, in addition to the experience of the Department of Modernization of the Administration and Urban Development in the organization of major events, it is intended to re-host, 22 years later, this event in the Victor Villegas Auditorium and Congress Center.
