Sharon said:Maybe someday we could strive for 'International Gardening Association', Zuzu. Wonder if there ever could be such a thing?


I thought the same, Sharon, when Mika asked if non US gardeners would still be welcome . .. The National Gardening Association is an impressive name but it does sound a little "exclusive" in that it might seem to exclude people from other countries. It would be a shame if other nationalities went away because of a name.

However, warmest congratulations to Dave and Trish on their ambitious new venture and - Hey, we've been wondering where the heck you were!
