Hi folks!
The Northwestern Chapter of NARGS ( North American Rock Garden Society ) is
hosting the annual Western Winter Study Weekend the week after next (9-11 March
2012) in Everett, Washington. In the past, members of the PBS that are
attending, or those that are in the area, have gotten together for a "meet and
greet". It's a great chance to finally meet some of the people that we
communicate with through the forum, and to get a chance to talk about our
favorite types of plants.
If we choose to meet on Saturday the 10th, at say 3:00 p.m. in Ballroom II,
that would work well. As an added inducement for those not attending the full
event, the public is being invited to come enjoy the plant and book sales, and
to partake of the 'Tips and Tricks' presentations from 12:30 to 5 p.m. If there
is a change to the meeting place, it will be posted both online, and at the
information table in the plant sales room. There are going to be roughly 17
northwest nurseries selling plants, and over 400 plant related books have been
gathered.

Alas, I'm going to be busy hosting the 'Tips and Tricks' presentations during
the selected time of the gathering, but please come by the Hoyt room and say "HI".
Good gardening,
Dave Brastow = Tumwater, Washington, where many seedling Crocus are blooming
for the first time, making me very happy!!
