your program on John Bartram sounds very interesting! please send details of fees, availability and technical requirements as the Annapolis (MD) Horticulture Society is now scheduling programs for next season – thanks! Nancie Kennedy, Program Cmt
I believe that I spoke to someone from your association in years past. Perhaps you can refer to an appearance that I made at Green Springs Garden this summer just past. It was a wonderful trip for me. My son lives very close to you! We shall be in further communication…
Nancie Kennedy has asked me to come and see your performance in relationship to the Annap Hort Soc’s programs. She indicated that you would be at the Philly Flower show on March 2. I have search their website and see that the show starts on March 4. Can you tell me if you will be there, if so the date, and who I can contact about tickets.
Thanks
Tish Iorio, AHS
Nancie Kennedy has asked me to attend one of your performances for our Program Committee. I was told you would be at the Philly Flower show on March 2. I have combed their site and see nothing about it. Additionally, it appears the show doesn’t open until March 4.
Could you give me any info about your performance there and who I can contact about tickets for it.
Thanks,
Tish Iorio
The appearance at the Flower Show is unconfirmed as to date/time at this writing. It would be under the sponsorship of Mantis Tillers. Kirk will be at the show for meetings over the weekend prior to opening on Monday morning. We can stay in touch in the mean time. In the normal presentation venue associated with the show, all you need to pay for is the admission to the Flower Show Floor. All lectures and presentations are included in the price of the overall admission.
