Thank-you, Lorraine.

Please tell me, is there a lot to keep occupied with at the National Convention? I am contemplating on coming to CA for the convention, and the garden tour sounds GREAT for me, since I've only garden hopped once (and that was in Oregon)

I hope I can be there and see your gardens! :-)

Hello All, Betty Coyle, Nationals 2004 chair took the time to stop by
our garden yesterday and all I can say is "WOW" ARE THEY PLANING A GREAT
EVENT FOR ALL OF US. We in the Modesto area are looking forward to
meeting everyone and are working diligently on getting our three gardens
ready for you all. Between the three gardens we have about 1000 guest
varieties to see, one garden plants in sandy soil, one plants in sandy
loam and we plant in clay like soil. Going by the way the "bird flies"
our gardens are about 10 miles from each other. She suggested that we
get our reservations in NOW. Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Please check The AIS website events for details but looks like there is one long day of presentations followed by three (3) full days of bus tours. three seperate dinners in the evening to stay out of trouble.

Gordon modestly omitted that in addition to 1000 guest they have about 2000 more in their display garden. Add another 1000 at Superstition, about 2000 more and a 20acre production field at Suttons as well as four more gardens for a total of a lot of iris!
