Hi! I'm
back from a little "stay-cation" and speaking of "back" the
rain has returned! Now the gardens are pumped up for the upcoming
Garden Holiday. I've written previously on a few of our highlighted speakers and although I can't get to everyone, I want to mention three more here today.

First Mr. Walt Cudnohufsky, a well loved and respected as a guru in the
Landscape Architecture field. He has a dedicated local following of
professional horticulturists who will travel great distances to hear him.
Victoria
Coyne of Victoria's Gardens in High Falls said, "Walt changed the way I look and speak about plants.”
My
eyebrows certainly rose when I learned he started the Conway School of
Landscape Design. That's big! Feel free to visit his website for deeper
insight http://wcala.com. Walt will spend most of Monday, August 27 with us and what a treat that
will be!
Now
Mobee Weinstein, Mobee is the foreman of gardeners at NYBG. It is always a
pleasure bumping in to her judging the Philadelphia Flower Show. We thought it
would be fun to try some "Courageous Containers.” The planters we'll use during the program are
still under wraps but I thought I'd pop in some recent planters I thought were
groovy.

We
are going to have a blast experimenting en situ in this interactive workshop. Mobee
and me? Now that's COURAGEOUS!
Let's
not forget Lorraine. I met Lorraine Ballato at the Mike Dirr pilgrimage
last February and she is a very motivated, enthusiastic woman that is delighted
to share her knowledge and passion on a wide variety of gardening subjects. We
picked, "Not your Grandmother's Roses"—should be enlightening and
entertaining to boot. Roses are a never ending topic of discussion that is
sure to inspire.

get more of the scoop.
I
know, I know, I haven't covered all the speakers for the week—long program. Let’s not forget about the wonderful Diana
Weiner, Phil Eisner and all of the talented Mohonk staff. They're all old
friends and they'll understand.
Come
and join us for an overnight perhaps? And as always here on the mountain day meal
guests can participate in all—day programs! What a deal for the price of
lunch! Hope to see you at Garden Holiday or any day at Mohonk Mountain
House!
