By now, hopefully, all of you have received the Spring 2015 issue of The Bulb Garden. As is mentioned the spring issue, I’m looking for botanical tourism experiences as well as experience in going it alone within the last two years, preferably. I know some of you have gone out on your own alone or with like-minded groups, while others have used tours such as those assembled by the Scottish Rock Garden Club and Alpine Garden Society. Even a few paragraphs or brief comments would be welcome. Also, many of us on the west coast are experiencing severe summer dry weather conditions and I’d like to hear how anyone who is coping with drought is surviving, their techniques, tools, strategies, etc. Again, a few paragraphs or brief comments are welcome and I will be reading discussion group comments as well. I’m excited to be embarking what I regard as a “treasure hunt” for articles, information and opinions for publication in the journal. Please let me know what you’re interested in reading about or if you have an idea for an article you’d like to write. Never mind if you think you don’t write well or have no photographs. That’s why Jennifer Hildebrand and I are here to help, and we’ll be happy to walk with you through the process. I look forward to hearing from you. If you don’t want to respond to the group email, feel free to contact me at my personal email below.
