No, You Get Gardening!

Oregonians, you are lucky. If it weren’t so far for me to travel, I would attend Get Gardening! in Beaverton, Oregon. Here’s how it works: Al’s Garden Center and Timber Press teamed up with Powell’s at Cedar Hills Crossing, to bring this event for the gardener. Garden authors make presentations, followed by discussions, door prizes, snacks and meeting other passionate gardeners.

Even luckier, you get to spend an evening with Raymond Evison, a well-known breeder of clematis from the UK. I am now reading his new book, Clematis for Small Spaces and it looks like I am writing a favorable review soon. Then I find out he is going to be here in the NW. They say life isn’t fair. That same evening I am already committed to bringing sneak previews of the NW Flower & Garden Show to Rainy Side Gardeners’ readers.  It’s outrageously not fair these two events coincide.  Please don’t disappoint me! Attend this event and let me live vicariously through you.

Hey Debbie --thought you might like to know that the HPSO is hosting Raymond Evison in Portland again on April 6th – perhaps you can make that talk. More info here: http://www.hardyplantsociety.org/april.htm

Fantastic Darcy, Thanks for letting me know, I can make that one.

I signed up to get on the Get Gardening! email list. If I can get there, I'll be sure to let you know what happens.

Thank you Lisa, it should be fascinating to hear him speak about his clematis breeding.
