Amelia And yet I envy you! If you have the time July 6-8 or July 13-15 you are within driving distance of great fun! Tony Avent is having his summer open house weekends at Plant Delights Nursery. I flew up to the Raleigh area this time of summer a few years ago to meet with some Daves Garden friends and visit the nursery and brought home some treasures.
