Rooting for Ideas 
This looks like a very inspirational series of talks. Will there be a synopsis for those of us who cannot attend? I shall definitely let my daughter know about this and maybe she can get away for a few hours. I don’t know how you all are making it this cold cold winter!!…lots of ideas must be brewing for the spring.
Thanks for posting this, Don. I can hardly wait!
Looking forward to it!
I am so sad that I am going to miss your talk Kathy but I am attending the wildflower symposium in Ithaca that weekend. Small chance I might make it back but I love your topic. Best Don
Oh, that is ironic. You will drive right by the street I live on getting to that symposium. Lots of good plant things to do in Ithaca, at least when it’s warmer. I plan on attending your talk if the weather permits.
Kathy
I would very much like to visit your garden in the summer time and plan to make a trip to Ithaca as well.
Hi Kackie, we have some very interesting topics for this year’s lecture series. 5 of the speakers are professionals within their particular area of the gardening world and will bring a level of knowledge and expertise to the talks. Sondra Freckelton is a professional painter and I enjoyed her talk last year on how gardening influenced her painting and how painting influenced her gardening. And I am looking forward to Diana Hall’s talk where its always nice to see photos of famous gardens. It’s been a brutal winter, but the light has changed and there is that promise of spring. Best, Don
Don and Kathy, sounds like a field trip to me!
