I would recommend attending this event this year. The line up of speakers is very good. I went Thursday and it was great! I went to the hour long talk by Dr. Micheal Dirr. It was entitled: New Plant Introductions and it was standing room only! And they ran out of hand outs, twice. Luckily, I got one. (You can get the info. at http://www.plantintroductions.com) Plus, I sat next to a UGA volunteer that told me about a special open house on July 11th at the UGA Trial Garden that will be hosted by Dr. Allen Armitage. I thought some of y'all might be interested in that cool bit of info. I'm going if at all possible!
Anyway, back to the show info., I love it being at the Galleria. (I live in Cobb). Free parking makes a HUGE difference. I got $2 off the entrance fee since I showed my Atlanta Botanical Garden Membership card. So instead of $16 + $10 parking at the Congress center downtown, it only cost $14. So naturally I bought more plants! I was there from 11:30 am to 4:15 pm!
Thursday is my day off from work and the kids, so I spent it doing just what I wanted. I went to a couple talks, slowly mosied around the gardens and did some lazy shopping. I finally bought a garden hat that has a flap to protect my neck. I also made my annual purchase of Euphorbias from No Longer Bound. It was a great day that I had been looking forward to for a very long time!
