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 its own way, frost may be one of the most beautiful things to happen in your garden all year . . . Don’t miss it. Like all true beauty, it is fleeting. It will grace your garden for but a short while this morning. . . . For this moment, embrace frost as the beautiful gift that it is.

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!
