All you upstate NY gardeners need to know about the Odyssey to Ithaca sponsored by Upstate Gardeners Journal. They are going to visit MacKenzie-Childs, Bakers Acres, The Plantsmen, and Bedlam Gardens. I’ve been to them all except MacKenzie-Childs, and they’re all wonderful.
The Odyssey is departing from both Buffalo and Rochester on June 6. If you are local to either Buffalo or Rochester, this trip will be time and money well spent.

What differentiates a bulb from a perennial plant is that the nourishment for the flower is stored within the bulb itself.…There is something miraculous about the way that a little grenade of dried up tissue can explode into a complete flower.

I definitely plan on attending this from Buffalo.
Wish I could go, Seattle’s a bit far though… my in-laws have deep Ithaca roots (Cornell profs and students), I hope to go there someday and see the college and local gardens!
