Gardenerd has not received any gifts yet

About Me:: I am a Buncombe County Master Gardener (2007 Volunteer of the Year) and am currently enrolled in horticulture classes at Haywood Community College. I am also the President of the Leicester Garden Club. Gardening is my "golf" so I spend as much time as possible in the garden. My gardening knowledge has been collected from Kansas, Colorado, Texas and Missouri. I have learned the most and have been the happiest gardening in WNC! I'm not visiting - I REALLY live here!!!!

Favorite Plants:: I have mostly perennials but love all plants. I like to be able to look out any window of my house and see flowers in bloom. I have recently become a fan of variegated foliage.

How are your horticulture classes going? I want to get over that way and visit George, Buddy and John. I will be doing a plant rescue out that way in a couple of weeks. Randy, a passionate plant rescuer and myself will rescue some plants off a lady's property before it is sold and bulldozed. We do this a lot, but always with permission from the property owner.

I bet it's nice living kinda close to Haywood Comm College. I drove 64 miles every day to school when I attended. I just noticed your picture of your front yard and agree that it's very pretty. We must meet some time for coffee/tea or meet at the Arboretum. I'd like to hear more about your Air Force son--I tried for twelve years to get to Anchorage and I went to the Black Hills in SD instead--it turned out to be the greatest assignment ever. Tell George, John and Buddy hello for me--they know me as Dawn Pomraning. Please call me sometime--828-606-5436 (cell) so I can get to meet you.
