Sixth Annual Great Gardens and Landscaping Symposium

Kerry Mendez (see above) emailed me briefly about the Great Gardens and Landscaping Symposium that she has organized for the sixth year in a row. Since it is focused on gardening with cold hardy plants, I thought it was worth passing on to my readers.

Besides Kerry herself, Paul Tukey, Tara Dillard, and Dr. Mark Starrett will be speaking over the course of two days (which includes the pre-symposium workshop). The workshop and symposium will be held April 24-25, 2009 at the Mirror Lake Inn and Resort at Lake Placid, NY. Topics range from new perennial introductions to organic lawn care and award-winning cold hardy woody plants.

Registrations are still being accepted, but the symposium has sold out the last two years, so don’t wait until the last minute to finalize your plans to attend.

About the Author

Kathy Purdy is a colchicum evangelist, converting unsuspecting gardeners into colchicophiles. She would be delighted to speak to your group about colchicums or other gardening topics. Kathy’s been writing since 4th grade, gardening since high school, and blogging since 2002.

If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It’s a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it’s time to reflect on what’s come before.

Too bad I’ve got plans already for that time otherwise I would attend. Perhaps next year.
