I agree with Carolyn's assessment, except that I liked Planting Fields. I got some great shots of the terraced beds around the pool, the tea house and the charming pink playhouse surrounded by cottage gardens. The one I could have skipped was the private garden whose horticultural highlight was an interesting stainless steel fence. The homeowners left instructions that we not look in the windows at any of their stuff or "leave our greasy forehead prints on the glass."
I enjoyed all the other gardens and think the planning committee did a great job. I also did the optional tour to NYBG and Wave Hill. Wave Hill is absolutely wonderful. We didn't have enough time at NYBG, but the conservatory is a jewel. I'd like to return someday to see more there.

Marianne Binetti's session "Organize Your Freelance Life..." was excellent. So was "Independent Publishing Options," presented by Betty Mackey, Jim Long and Nellie Neal. I'd recommend both those tapes. As always with concurrent sessions, you miss half of what's offered. I'm considering buying the tapes so I can hear more.

We saw some terrific gardens, mainly belonging to nursery wholesalers, and the weather was perfect. There wasn't enough time for some of the gardens, especially Robert Dash's. Old Westbury was amazing, but Planting Fields Arboretum could have been skipped IMHO. There were seminars on new plants from a variety of presenters, and all were good, but the owner of Bluebird Nursery in Nebraska was outstanding. I had not heard him before. The hotel was comfortable. All in all a good symposium.
