look at the extraordinary line up of talks and garden tours. And Hort “stars”
including my garden idol, Lynden Miller, and Ken Druse – a true Hort treasure (I am a card-carrying member of the Ken Druse fan club!), along with Hort “Rock Stars” Uli
Lorimer, BBG (we’ve had some grand times on the Martha Stewart Show- showcasing
Uli’s plant knowledge for the domestic diva); and Nick Storrs – a smart,
