Re: Garden Tour

Thank you so much for your reply.  The American Ivy Society would love to
tour your garden.  Unfortunately in 2003 we must plan our trip for June,
and delicate flowers that we are, Florida is too hot for us in  the summer.
Maybe another year we can plan a winter trip. Last year we went to Ireland,
this year it's San Diego, next year is Holland.

Incidentally, do you grow much/any ivy in your gardens?  How do they do in
the heat and humidity.

Best,  Suzanne Pierot, President
          The American Ivy Society
