Festival of Trees 2013

 Friends were here yesterday from out of town.  After a hair-cut by Malcolm Cain at his downtown LW barber shop, we wandered over to Too-Jays and then we mingled with those that were visiting the Festival of Trees at the Cultural Plaza.  We picked up some seeds and looked around.


 I was tempted by these hanging pepper plants, maybe next time.
 We had a nice chat with AnnaMaria Windisch-Hunt. She was displaying some of her art work which is featured here.
I also bumped into Dave McGrew who is the city's horticulturalist.  You might remember him being in the news recently related to the removal of the large tree in the Cultural Plaza.  There is going to be an up-coming meeting of the Tree Board on March 14th in the Commission Chambers, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. where the public is welcome to discuss the removal of the ficus tree and the situation/circumstances surrounding it.
