THE FUTURE OF LOCAL  GARDENING 
The Future of Local  Gardening Panel Discussion moderated by Kathy Jentz, 
Washington Gardener Magazine's editor/publisher. Come join us after  the 
panel for cupcakes and a sip of something bubbly to mark Washington  Gardener 
Magazineâs 5th Anniversary in print. 

We will host a panel  discussion on local garden trends and the future of 
urban gardening in the 21st.  Local experts will share their views and we 
anticipate a lively discussion of  where weâve been and where we are headed 
next. 
Our guest panelists  are:
~ Angela  Treadwell-Palmer, President of of Plants Nouveau 
(_www.plantsnouveau.com_ (http://www.plantsnouveau.com/) ) on plants being  bred now and 
coming soon to retail and your home garden. What exciting new  traits and 
developments are in store?
~ John Peter Thompson  of Invasive Notes (ipetrus.blogspot.com) on proposed 
invasive species laws  and the impact of invasives and exotics. Will all 
non-native ornamental plants  soon be banned from import?
~ Sylvia H Wright,  author of From Eco-weak to Eco-chic on climate change 
and enviro-impacts.  Is global warming going to make the Lilac a plant of the 
past in the  Mid-Atlantic?

If YOU were a contributor in any way to the magazine these  past 5 years 
whether writing a book review, submitting a My Garden Story,  sending in 
photos, etc., I'd especially like YOU to be there on Sunday so I can  thank you 
in person for supporting the magazine.  

PS this IS a networking  event and we encourage you to bring your business 
cards, brochures, etc., to  exchange and put out on our Local Garden

PLEASE pass this invite along to any other  fellow gardeners and 
horticulture professionals you  know.
