Thanks Stan for that excellent photo record, and to the rest of the team and nurseries for coming and especially those who were exhibiting plants.  There may be fewer folks attending shows this year, but the Club and its volunteers are still here putting on these events, and we look forward to welcoming more members of the SRGC and of the public next year.
