I was reading my Carolina Gardener and saw an article about getting more involved in gardening. The following paragraph stood out. Do we live up to the expectations of this gardening Journal?
PLANT SOCIETIES THAT MATTER
Follow your garden passion by joining
a plant society this year. The American
Horticultural Society maintains a handy
on line list of individual plant societies,
with dozens of plant-specific organizations
from African violets to sedums.
Joining a plant society is like opening
an encyclopedia written just for you: conferences
and local sem
inars, far-rangingstudy trips, sales, networking, and even
volume pricing. The result can be deeper
understanding about how your favorite
plant grows, along with the latest information
about emerging varieties.
Considering the amazing plant
diversity across the Carolinas, some of the
most meaningful plant societies may be
the native plant societies and the American
Horticultural Society itself, at ahs.org.
Other active plant societies in the
Carolinas include those for roses, daylilies,
camellias, bonsai, orchids, waterlilies, and
herbs.
