Re: [Aroid-l] Gardens to Visit

From: "Harry Witmore" <harrywitmore at witmore.net> on 2008.08.14 at 11:30:00 I would also like to add Stowe Botanical Gardens which is in Belmont NC. They just built a multi million dollar Orchid Conservatory, While I can't say much for it yet I hope in the future it will be something to see. It's not a collectors Conservatory since most of the Orchids are hybrids and easily obtained most anywhere. They do have nice displays but they really don't try to replicate natural habitat but go more for mass plantings and architectural design. Curiously, they have no pictures of it that I can find on their web site but an outdoor shot.   http://www.dsbg.org/events_detail.php?id=3D587#title     Here is my album of pictures when I visited soon after their opening in February.   http://www.cloudjungle.com/portal/Pictures/tabid/191/AlbumID/534-904/Default.aspx       Harry Witmore Cloud Jungle Epiphytes www.cloudjungle.com   From: aroid-l-bounces@gizmoworks.com [mailto:aroid-l-bounces@gizmoworks.com] On Behalf Of Tindomul Er-Murazor Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 3:51 PM To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Gardens to Visit Hi, I just visited McKee Botanical Gardens at Vero Beach Florida.

A little while ago I wrote asking for links about sustainability and top rate Botanic and other Gardens to visit. Thanks to all those who sent through their suggestions - I've finally managed to collate the suggestions and turn it into a readable list. You can download it here: Gardens and links page<http://www.drivehq.com/folder/p4480453/1212639321.aspx> If that doesn't work, email me offlist (drplantman@gmail.com) and I'll send you a copy pronto! I'd love to expand the sustainable links page so if you have other resources or suggestions please feel free to send them through and I'll update the file. Many thanks again, Jeremy ------------------------------ ****************** No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
