Title: GWA Region V Meeting
I invite you all to the GWA Region V
meeting on June 23 in Wisconsin. I put the program together with
photographers and writers in mind. The All-America Selection garden that
will be toured includes every AAS plant in existence since 1929, and the
heirloom tomato garden contains over 100 varieties. Also, the rose garden
at Olbricht Gardens has all the AARS selections still in the trade. At
Song Sparrow Farms, we will be seeing rare perennials and other delights that
Roy Klehm is developing. Plenty of free plants, seeds and other items will
be given to all participants.
The meeting would make a nice long weekend for
those of you in other regions. Decent airfares can be found by flying into
Milwaukee or even Madison, WI.
Details are below.
