>>Just wanted to bring your attention to some updates I have
>>moved into the Medit-Plants web site's Events section. I make
>>updates to the site all of the time, but as these are 'timely'
>>I thought I'd draw attention to them. There are some nice
>>things going on. Southern California members should note a
>>lecture/meeting of the MGS on March 20, entitled "The New
>>California Garden" - looks interesting! I am also seeking more
>>events from other parts of the world (besides California) so if
>>any of you out there on other shores have contacts with groups
>>or organizations who host mediterranean climate gardening
>>appropriate events, please let me know (or let them know about
>>me)! As usual, if anyone has some feedback about how out
>>web site is shaping up, please feel free to pass it along! And
>>if anyone wishes to contribute - feel free!
