Deadline extended Region III meeting

**jo ellen meyers sharp h*@sbcglobal.net**

GWL members -- here's a reminder about the Garden Writers 
Association's Region III meeting on Tuesday, March 14 in 
Indianapolis. THE DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 
FRIDAY, MARCH 10. Anyone is invited to attend.

Three top-notch experts on the emerald ash borer will give the latest 
update and discuss what treatments there are and what garden 
communicators can tell their readers, listeners and viewers. It may 
surprise you what actions will be taken to combat the pest.

You'll also be able to tour the Indiana Flower & Patio Show, talk to 
local landscapers and learn first-hand about  the multimillion dollar 
changes at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, including new ways to 
plant trees on a structur'e's roof, how horticulturists and 
volunteers dug, moved, stored and replanted dozens of mature trees 
and thousands of other plants during construction.

The weather should be decent -- mid 50s, 20 percent chance of showers.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I can send you a PDF of 
the program, or you can follow the links at GWA below.
