I'll look forward to reading your stories too, though!

It might have to be working exchanges since it's always so hard to leave when there's stuff happening in the garden... We're finally getting to Chanticleer in PA and hopefully Longwood in DE next month though! Want to come along? Jodi – I love that idea!

You could go to Kingsbrae, Maureen of Kingsbrae could go to Blithewold....and so on and so on. Of course, that would be no benefit for me, who doesn't work at a garden...but I could go along with either of you to carry your bags, or write notes, or something like that! SEriously, glad you had a great vacation and that the garden is robust. It's a weird time of year, but a golden one, too. Wouldn’t it be fun to do annual ‘public garden exchanges’?
