Re: Join us in Madison, WI

Linda and the group:

Ed took me on this tour in the middle of winter this year and it was
incredible then.  I can only imagine what a full flush of high summer's
growth does to these magical gardens.  The Thai pavilion at Olbrich is
something out of Midsummer's Night Dream.

This is a remarkable opportunity.  I would love to join you to get the same
shots with seasonality.

And Roy is a great plantsman, nurseryman, lecturer and author.  I'm sure
there will be copies of his book for purchase.  It's a keeper.

I'd like to invite GWL members/spouses to Madison, WI on June 29 to join GWA
Region V members on a daylong tour of some wonderful gardens throughout the
area. Registration deadline is this Friday, June 8 and can be done on the
GWA website at gardenwriters.org.  The registration fee ($35 GWA
members/spouses $45 non-members) includes lunch and entry to all gardens on
the tour including Olbrich Botanical Garden, Allen Centennial Gardens and
the University of Wisconsin West Madison Agricultural Research Station Trail
and Demonstration Gardens. Many thanks to Ed Lyon for putting together an
outstanding tour. I'm particularly excited at the opportunity to visit the
400-acre eco-friendly campus of Epic Systems, a medical software company
whose landscape and gardens reflect its keen environmental conscience.

We'll have special guided tours at all the gardens and hear speakers,
including Midwestern Plantsman Roy Diblik. Lunch will include a fun
product-testing session. Product samples will be abundant--we'll all take
away new plants and tools to try. And last, but certainly not least, there
will be plenty of networking opportunities, great story ideas and photo ops.

Please feel free to email me if you have questions. Hope to see you there!
