I live 10 miles north of Henderson in Sackets Harbor, NY on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario. Is that where you are going?

I am going to be giving a garden talk to garden clubs in the Henderson area of NY. I don’t want to appear a complete idiot, but I am not familair with the local plants etc. Here is my background. I am orginially from the UK and I have worked in Londons’ Royal Parks’ and I also worked for the Royal Horticultural Society at Wisley Garden. I have been here in Ohio for over 14 years. I would like to have some help in organizing my speach so that it is relavent to the area. Thankyou in advance.

I am trying to get a list of perennials for my mother. She lives at the Rose Garden Apts. in Newark, NY. Does anyone know of a website where I can find this. I live in Ft.Worth and have access to several sites here, but nothing for your climate/region.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated

Yes, it is a big chunk. Part of the reason is because it’s a fund raiser. Also there are some big names coming to speak. Some people have the budget and the desire and will pay. Registered landscape architects can write it off as a business expense.

Kathy, two friends sent me the e-newsletter from the Plantsmen about this, and now your post! Who wouldn’t want to go? But 90 bucks is a big chunk out of the garden budget…

Those sound like great workshops. I absolutely loved the time I spent taking Master Gardener classes because I was just so interested in all the subject matter. In-depth education is worth so much more when you have the life experience to appreciate it and actually apply it, don’t you think?

Hi Kathy, This is exactly the type of workshops I attend here in Nashville…even though I feel very knowledgeable about plants native to my part of the world, I’ve met the best gardeners, a few nursery owners and had a good time. Will you attend! Gail
