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. William Cullina, author of The New England Wild Flower Society Guide to Growing and Propagating Wildflowers of the United States and Canada and Native Trees, Shrubs, and Vines: A Guide to Using, Growing, and Propagating North American Woody Plants
is one of the speakers, and Donald Leopold, author of Native Plants of the Northeast : A Guide for Gardening & Conservation
and Trees of New York State: Native and Naturalized
is the other speaker. I’ve had a chance to browse their books before and I know they’re both quite knowledgable about this topic: I’m going! More information is here, but it wouldn’t surprise me if this event sells out, so don’t dawdle if you’re interested!
Let’s Go Native!
March 15, 2006 – Posted in: EventsWhen dealing with frost it is always best to be paranoid. In the spring never think it is too late for one more frost to come. And in the fall never think it too early.

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.
