I am grateful to receive the following information about the North American Rock Garden Society AGM :
"The NARGS Annual General Meeting is scheduled for the 28th
through the 30th of August in Santa Fe, New Mexico. We have made an unusual
effort to provide NARGS members with a spectacular venue, an interesting and
botanically rich locale, and an ideal time to meet for us in the Northern
Hemisphere. We hope that our efforts will lead to a successful and memorable
event and that the meeting gets the kind of participation it deserves. The
American Southwest is unusual in that the summer rains bring a burst of bloom
to the New Mexico region in late summer, and the rains this year have been
reliable, leading to a high level of optimism about the flowering of the
native flora in late August. The hotel is beautiful and luxurious, the meals
and programs will be enjoyable, and the Santa Fe chapter is arranging day
trips and garden tours. The chapter deserves our thanks and our support for
making this meeting possible. So please take a few minutes, go the NARGS.org
website, look over the information about the meeting, and give strong
consideration to attending.
"Early bird" registration for the Santa Fe AGM will expire on June 30.
Beginning July 1 the registration will increase to $350. Registration closes
August 24. Please go to Registration for details.
The next copy of the Rock Garden Quarterly (being mailed next week), which will
feature at least one article about the Santa Fe area, its gardens and its
beauty.
Peter George,
NARGS President "
I am not able to attend but I certainly appreciated the reminder about the early bird registration - anyone planning a trip to this event should get moving!
Sounds like a great place to have the AGM, I must say. Enjoy, fellow NARGS members!
