From Carol Eichler, chair:
The 2008-09 Seed Exchange is coming with some important changes! The Seed List will not be mailed this year. Rather it will be posted on the NARGS website: www.nargs.org on December 15th. You will be able to download and print out the plant list and the order from from the website.
All orders will still need to be mailed in to the Main Distribution Chapter (address will be on the mail form). Printed copies will be available on request to those who do not have internet access. Request a printed copy to Laura Serowicz, NARGS Seed List, 15411 Woodring Livonia, MI 48154.

Wurster work party
Can you give an hour or two? Come join in on Saturday, October 18 from 10 a.m. on – immediately preceding lunch and our speaker program. Help us put the Wurster Rock Garden to bed for winter.
We’re planning a general clean-up, creating a to-do list for next season, and may tackle the bog area which has some assertive plants that should be culled. This is a great opportunity to spend time in this garden, gain first-hand experience and to appreciate how truly fabulous this rock garden is.
Conveniently, Wurster Garden and the venue for meeting are both at the Tompkins County Office of Cornell Cooperative Extension, 615 Willow Ave., Ithaca, N.Y. (where Dey St., Willow Ave. and Rte. 13 meet). See this google map.
