Re: [GWL]: Chelsea 2002

   I was always jealous of Carolyn Ulrich's email address:  Cultivated@aol.com  Too cool!
  I've yet to go to Chelsea myself,although Writtle College did an exhibit based on my book there this year, and I've had some great feedback on it. If I were going and wanted to sell articles about it, I'd be inclined to query magazine editors way early, like perhaps now. My experience has been that many of them plan things long in advance. Quite different than newspapers.
  I've been on this list just a few weeks now and I keep recognizing one garden writer's name after another. This is a great list!
