Hi Anita, I plan on coming to the Oct 10th tour and hope others from the forum can join me. But I'm also tempted to come to the propagation workshop. Can you post the time that will be held and how long it lasts? Look forward to seeing the cemetery again! Diane

I'll be coming to the Dec. 5 pruning clinic for sure. I've developed a new problem in regard to The Sun and Me, also having a lot of other allergy/smog difficulties, so I'm playing it by ear as to coming to volunteer - but I should be there in a week or two. Will you all be working on the day before Thanksgiving? I might make it then, but didn't know if everyone would be home baking pies, etc. Laura

I hope it changes, but it is supposed to rain this Saturday in Sacramento and be in the 60s. :-/ Im still going and bringing my hubby and parents... but darn! Question for those who volunteer at the cemetery... my dad is in his late seventies and very active, but still has some limitations. He really misses his big garden (recently moved to a smaller place in Sacramento), but when I talked about volunteering there he was worried that it would be too structured and he may not be able to commit. There are volunteers that don't have to come every week at a certain time right? Some that can drop in when they're able? He is a fabulous retired hairdresser and we were teasing him that he could be like Edward Scissor Hands there. :-) I think it would be really enjoyable for him... but a big commitment might be too much for him. There's a place for volunteers like him, if he's up for it, right? Who would he talk to there? Anita would that be you?
