*No Drivers Please: In the past, plant tour participants have chosen to drive to plant tours, which is widely discouraged and even prohibited by many plant owners. In addition, this often creates safety issues and space concerns for the host plant, resulting in scheduling problems with other tours. As guests of our host plants, we must be considerate of their requests. Individual drivers will not be permitted on the property for this plant tour. Please take advantage of the transportation provided by the sponsors and enjoy the scenic countryside as you travel to the plant.
