Our Spring tour to Charleston and Savannah sold out so quickly, that we decided to offer it again in 2009 for all of you who weren't able to sign up. See my Garden Travels page for details!

Sally Field – Gardener and Actress
I had great fun interviewing Sally Field about her love of gardening (the article appeared in the P-I Feb. 14; read it here), and if that wasn’t enough, I got to appear on stage with her at the Northwest Flower & Garden Show, Feb. 23, where we talked about Gardening for Good Health.
Sally gardens in the Malibu hills of Southern California, a much tougher place than Seattle, but we share some of the same fondness for plants, such as Ceanothus and California poppies. I passed along a book recommendation (Designing With Succulents, Debra Lee Baldwin, Timber Press, 2007) and the name of a great mail-order nursery — Annie’s Annuals.
I’ll be at the San Francisco Flower & Garden Show on March 15 (without Sally, unfortunately). More info at gardenshow.com and on my calendar page.
