Send a note to Phyllis Gricus. She's in the
book. We just had a really great Region II meeting in the Pitt/Carnegie
Mellon area. Phipps put on a really great tour for us. The new
addition and planned further expansion is a terrific story and impressive
architecture. They had a Frabel glass exhibit installed during our visit
that was outstanding. We went next to the Hunt Botanic Library. They
have rotating traveling shows and one of the world's premiere collection of
"horticultural" books and manuscripts. The director/head curator gave us a
fascinating lecture/tour. She pulled out numerous primo examples from the
collection including an original Linneaus and an herbal from 1462 (?) at the
dawn of movable type.
We toured the Rodef biblical garden and then an absolutely
pristine private garden. Phyllis can certainly put you in touch with the
owner who was very erudite and had just returned from South
America.
The night before we were hosted to a unique tour of the
proposed new Pittsburgh Arboretum/Botanic Garden. By next year they would
have completed the coal stripping process that's getting underway and may
actually be in the construction phase. It's an incredible story and will
create the first ever green space from brown fields. All of the Federal
Green agencies are looking at it as a pilot project for all that they are trying
to do.

alive and well...?
If so, can anyone recommend gardens to visit in the
Pittsburgh area? Public, private (especially a garden writer!)... This
would be for June or July next year...
Thanks!
