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.

In the end, this may be the most important thing about frost: Frost slows us down. In spring, it tempers our eagerness. In fall, it brings closure and rest. In our gotta-go world–where every nanosecond seems to count–slowness can be a great gift. So rather than see Jack Frost as an adversary, you could choose to greet him as a friend.

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!
