NARGS member news, announcements, Chapter and National events
I've been asked by Grazyna Grauer to compile an up to date list/database of all potential speakers for both NARGS National and the Chapters. Obviously this is a big job, and let's call this a beginning. If you, or anyone you know, has spoken to a chapter or at some regional or national meeting, or has any INTEREST in doing so, please contact me @ [email protected]. This is for all potential speakers, anywhere in the world.
Thanks in advance,
Peter
Below is a link to a Philadelphia Inquirer article (5/14/10) on rock garden, including mention of NARGS and Ann and Dick Rosenberg's garden.
In Memorium, Anita Kistler
One of the wonderful rock gardeners and member of NARGS for a LONG TIME, Anita Kistler, died at home on Thursday, 22 April.
I have been asked by NARGS to gather information on Anita Kistler and put together a short article about her that could be published in either the NARGS Quarterly or in the President's note that comes out with the Quarterly.
Hello all - just a reminder that we have openings for the NARGS 2010 Annual Meeting in Salida, CO. July 10-14.
Although not officially a NARGS event, it is an event that is inextricably intertwined with NARGS and a number of NARGS chapters. Next Saturday, April 24, there will be a large plant sale at the Stonecrop Gardens in Cold Spring, NY. Go to: http://www.stonecrop.org/index_cal_view.php for directions, time, etc.
Lori Chips, alpine manager at Oliver Nurseries, has informed NARGS that Martha Stewart plans a segment next week Thurs., April 8th on rock gardening, specifically "Wrightman-style sandwich crevice planting."
However, the time and date of broadcasts vary around the country for the Martha Stewart Show. Below are two Web site links that might be helpful in finding the time and date of broadcast of the rock gardening segment in your locale:
Hi, Folks,
just wondering if anyone attending the recent Western Study weeekend or the upcoming Eastern weekend will be coming online here to give us a flavour of these events?

Delaware Valley Chapter of NARGS wins Best in Show for Plant Societies at the Philadelphia Flower Show. Quite an honor since this is probably the most prestigious flower show in the country.
The [glow=red,2,300]deadline [/glow] for receiving Seed Exchange orders has been [glow=red,2,300]extended [/glow] to Monday, February 15th, giving NARGS members an extra weekend to pore over the Seed List and send in their requests. There are still many desirable seeds available.
