Plant trekking and reading about gardening

Hello All,

This is my first post here, but I am active on a daylily list and read the
occasional post that arrives from a grass list I also receive.  I garden in
mostly full sun and grow mainly perennials with a few herbs and reseeding
annuals tossed in to the mix.

I too have gone on plant treks; mostly with my next door neighbor armed
with a road atlas and the issue of People, Plants and Places that lists all
the garden centers and nurseries they can with in the New England states.
I also plan to hit all the gardens listed in The Adventurous Gardener - a
review of many New England Gardens which specialize in the unusual. I'd
like to add an other source of plants - society plant sales auctions. I
know at the NE Daylily Society annual public sale and auction, people walk
away with some real bargins and things that won't be found at a local
nursery. I got my best hostas there!

I can only imagine about losing a local treasure like Mourning Dove - I'd
be heart broken to lose either of my favorite fixes - The Mixed Border or
Rolling Green.  The first is about 25 minutes away and second about an
hour, but both do lots of cutting edge plants.

Reading - I love Henry Mitchell and have all three gardening books.  I also
adore Beverly Nichols  and just got Down the Garden Path from Amazon.UK
Timber Press reissued the Merry Hall Trilogy - a definite must read.

TV Gardening - I love Ground Force (on BBCAmerica) and will watch almost
anything on gardening on TV. Too cold to be outside now.

Happy Holidays All,

Cheryl
