Re : pond list/Chicago gardens

Hello Mea and Chris,
I came back from Chicago last wenesday and I wanted to thank you for your
help.
We hired a car and visited the botanical garden on the sunday. My husband
was very interested and he enjoyed the visit as much as me . The park is so
well maintained, I wanted to show him the flowering cornus kousa but it was
a bit too early.
On monday we visited 2 nurseries Burpee Gardens in Downers Grove and the
Growing Place in Naperville, i wanted to stop in Morton arboretum but as it
was raining, my husband was not ok to stroll around in the mud ...I suppose
you understand what I mean ... Anyway, it was a miracle that I could take
him during 2 days in parks and nurseries.
I would love to buy more plants and take them home because here the custom
officers are not so difficult but the prices are much higher than in France.
It's a pity for you american people that the plants importation is strictly
forbidden.At least, we can share seeds.
Thank you for your advice again and enjoy your spring gardening.
Chantal,Ermenonville,France, zone 7/8
Summer has come back without spring time I can say it's the first sunny
week-end since last year!
