Planning has begun on the
8th Annual Kevin Vaughn Hybridizing Clinic. Mark your calendars for April 24, 25 & 26, 2020.
All events, except evening meals at restaurants, are free. No charge for Friday, Saturday and Sunday events.
Hotel reservations will be at the brand new Independence Hotel in Independence, OR. Just a few minutes from my house in Dallas, OR and in the opposite direction to Kevin Vaughn's house in Salem, OR. Beautiful views of the Willamette River, lovely small town atmosphere, and their very own resident Osprey, complete with nest on the river.
Deadline for making reservations is April 13th. You get the discounted price from Thurs.April 24 thru Sunday the 26th . To get the $20 discount, when you call tell them you are part of the
Sempervivum Group. With your reservation you get free buffet style breakfast each morning. Or use the code:
SEMPER if booking on-line.

The
seedling judging was a big hit @ the 2019 Clinic, we will definitely be doing the seedling judging again in 2020.
All seedlings entered must be at least 2 years old as of spring of 2020.
If we have enough entries for heuffelii, globiferum and x nixonii we will separate them into their own group, separate from the regular sempervivum.
