Anybody who is coming please send me a D mail and I will send you an info sheet of things to do and places to go plus my address and phone number.
The only specifically arranged activities are Saturday at 10am to Rundlewood Gardens and Saturday evening at 6pm - Joey Stewart's house and garden tour and then Pot Luck supper following ( Joey lives just a couple of blocks from me).
We can decide on Saturday but perhaps a visit and lunch to the Reader Rock Garden would be of interest.
Looking forward to meeting Ginny and Anne and Lynn who are just back from Chelsea Flower Show.

Praire Round Up
Slight schedule change. Visit to Rundlewood will be at 1030 instead of 10am to give Ann a bit of extra time to drive down from Edmonton.
Have fun my friends I wish I could be there. Steve.
We will miss you Steve!
Steve, I thought I would get to meet you this trip! Darn
Carol, Thank you for the extra 30 minutes, I understand that Calgary is tough to get around at the moment. Looking forward to Saturday!!!
Ann
best route is probably straight down Deerfoot to Glenmore - west on Glenmore to Crowchild, north on Crowchild - get off at 33rd Ave and go east to 16 Street and turn south until you see Rundlewood Gardens - not a sign! You have to know the intersection and it will be on the SE corner on your left side. There is a high fence and a wicker gate.
Just got home late last night! It looks like we have had RAIN in my week's absence. Anything going on today? Theresa
Theresa - I cant find your phone number.The edmonton gals are coming to my house betwen 1030 and 11am and we are going to the Reader Rock Garden and will have lunch there/
Might be taking the dogs out soon for about an hour but you can leave me a message with your number .
We probably wont leave here until after 11am.
I am going to check for your email on the CHS forum and send a message there too.

A great time was had by all. Carol you were a superb hostess. Thankyou so much for your hospitality and your dogadaptiveness. I have now planted nearly everything I brought home and have finished my containers at home. Will take some pics at the end of the week.
All of your suggestions of places to go were fantastic.
Carol your garden is a wonder and I enjoyed seeing the photos of Chelsea! I planted my iris! Thanks so much! Theresa
Photos? Do we get to see what we missed?
Yes, please, photos, and lots of them :))
Yes, I was wondering why we hadn't seen any photos from the other RU.
Carol is a wonderful hostess. With a totally amazing city garden, treasures everywhere you look. INCLUDING FOXTAIL LILIES... IN CALGARY..... I'll post pix if I ever work out how to get pix from picasa to DG.
inanda - caps needed for Carol's foxtail lilies
Ginny, what do you mean by 'caps' needed for the foxtails?
Linda

They are indeed so exciting! I just love those Foxtail Lillies and since Dennman I have to have them. I missed them at Connor's nursery they were sold out but I will keep looking.
We are all waiting for the photos! Couldn't be there but I am sure you will show us what we missed:)
