Upcoming events ...

June updates:

From Mary Stauble:

Here are some updates on 3 events featured in the May/June newsletter.

1. The ACNARGS propagation workshop originally scheduled for June 8 has been rescheduled to June 15 due to a conflict with the Cornell Plantations Plant Sale and Cornell's Alumni Reunion weekend. Contact Pat Curran (pc21@cornell.edu) if you have any questions about this.

2. The Cazenovia/Root Glen day trip has been postponed to a later date (to be announced) due to multiple conflicts with any weekend date in June.

3. The Stark/Stauble Open Garden in Lansing, NY was originally scheduled for the same date as the propagation workshop to save out-of-towners another trip to Ithaca. The candelabra primroses are still at peak this coming weekend (June 1-2), but the new propagation workshop date of June 15th will be too late. So if you're interested in seeing the garden, call us at 607-229-9924 to arrange an informal tour. We're there almost every day. You can also email us at mes2@cornell.edu.

Delaware Valley Chapter at the Philly Flower Show

From Carol Eichler.

The Delaware Chapter always had an exhibit at the Philadelphia Flower Show and it was well worth seeking out. This year they truly (in my opinion) outdid themselves so I wasn't surprised when they received "Best in Show for Plant Societies."

I took a lot of photos that I'll plan to show at one of our meetings. However in the meantime their website has posted some with comments here: www.dvcnargs.org/flowershow.html. It also has their plant list with over 80 species and cultivars. I spoke briefly with the member who was tending the exhibit. He said a retired architect designed the exhibit and they were really scrambling to get it built and planted up to the last minute. I can only imagine the work.
