Speaker: Connie Hilker,
an expert on historic roses and is a member of the Board of Trustees of the

*********************
The meeting is free and open to the public, and everyone who wants to learn more about roses is encouraged to attend. The talk lasts for about an hour, and there will be more than enough time for questions afterward. My goal is to give everyone in the audience the power to go home and grow roses without fear.
I wish I lived close enough to attend. Everybody needs at least one "heckler" in the crowd....lol...xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI would be a pleasure to be heckled by such a nice person as you, Diana.
DeleteHow wonderful to be called an expert in something! I too wish i lived close enough to attend. :) I know you will be wonderful! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteI'm not comfortable with being called an 'expert', but I guess that's what it is when someone knows a whole lot about something.
DeleteI would like to be an expert at something, too!
ReplyDeleteYour program sounds great Connie. I suffer from fear of rose growing myself.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to add, I do have knock out roses, since anyone can grow them. :)
DeleteRoses aren't scary once you get to know them.
DeleteDarn! Wish I'd known, Connie. I have an appointment tomorrow at noon and it's too late to reschedule it. :-( I'm sure your program will be excellent and truly appreciated by all the other attendees though!
