Hi,
Jane didn't mention that another member of our list, Carlo A. Balistrieri,
is going to speak at this meeting and that a number of other members of our
list have gardens that will be open for participants to visit. Is there any
possibility that a short meeting of Pacific Bulb Society list/group members
could be included some time informally so some of us could have a chance to
associate names with faces?
Yes, I forgot Carlo is on the PBS list too. He will be giving two
talks, one on garden design with stonework and another on plants
useful in small gardens. He often presents programs in the eastern
part of the country but this will be our first opportunity to hear
him on the west coast.
As for a meeting, we have two social periods with no-host bar
scheduled in the times between the end of afternoon activities and
the beginning of dinner Friday and Saturday, and perhaps we could
post a notice by the registration table that PBS members can get
together then.
I just donated a pot of a fair number of bulbs of Galanthus
reginae-olgae to the silent auction, so if you're coming, bring cash!
We have arranged, after extreme difficulty, for Canadians to obtain
phytosanitary certificates, but the inspector won't do it until
Monday morning. He has been the dark cloud over this whole endeavor.
Best wishes,
Jane McGary
