cyclamen

 

 

       Lynne Harrison will host the HPSW Holiday party at her waterfront house on Mercer Island, 

Sunday December 14 , 12-4pm

 

(so we can find Lynne’s house in daylight)  

Bring Pot luck food and wrapped White elephant gifts. You do not have to participate in the white elephant gift exchange if you prefer not to; you can still come to the party.

Lynne will provide the beverages (cheap wine and cider). The rule on white elephant gifts: you cannot bring back what you received last  year; but you can bring back something you received two years ago, or earlier.

Directions and address provided to members by email.  Feel free to call for directions if you get lost.

Lynne & Halstead Harrison

 How Plants Get Their Names

 

 

 

Dr. Ross Bayton, a taxonomist who trained at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (UK), will explain what taxonomy is, why it’s important and how it affects gardeners. So if you’ve ever felt frustrated when your favorite plant changed its name, he’s the one to blame (feel free to bring along some rotten tomatoes to throw…)

August 17th HPSW Summer Picnic – 1PM-5PM

By on August 13th, 2014

 

 

images-1

 

 

 

 

 

 UPDATED TIME: Please note that the party starts at 1PM, not 11 am as previously stated.

Look forward to seeing everyone at the HPSW Summer Picnic at Lynn Harrison’s Home on Mercer Island …

The HPSW picnic will be August 17th 1-5 at Lynne Harrison’s house on Mercer Island. Lynne has a waterfront house, so you can swim if you want to. Bring your kids if you want. It’s a potluck. HPSW will provide plates, cutlery, cups and things to drink like lemonade and water. Bring a dish to share.

Lynne’s address will be emailed to members.   Bring a chair if you want one, or a blanket to sit on.

Lynne reminds us that parking is limited at and near her house. Carpool if you can. There is a house being constructed to the north of Lynne’s house and a big pile of rubble in the street, so parking is even more limited than usual.
