If you live within a day trip of Syracuse, NY, you might be interested in the Spring Gardening Seminar hosted by The Men’s Garden Club of Syracuse and Phoenix Flower Farm. Entitled “Going Native,” it’s being held at the Craftsman Inn in Fayetteville, NY on April 1st.

Let’s Go Native!

Now, the digging and dividing of perennials, the general autumn cleanup and the planting of spring bulbs are all an act of faith. One carries on before the altar of delayed gratification, until the ground freezes and you can’t do any more other than refill the bird feeder and gaze through the window, waiting for the snow. . . . Meanwhile, it helps to think of yourself as a pear tree or a tulip. You will blossom spectacularly in the spring, but only after the required period of chilling.

Happy spring to you, my friend.
Thank you so much!
Now I have to get those seeds in the mail – weather should be fickle warm enough for their travels…
Yes, I am really excited to be going!
I work as a volunteer guide at Garden in the Woods, the home of the NE Wild Flower Society, so I’ve had the chance to work with Bill Cullina up close and personal. I’d like to say that not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but he’s also very enthusiastic and is very generous in sharing his knowledge with others. I’m not familiar with Donald Leopold, but this sure sounds like it will be a great seminar.
