Title: Carpathians 2010
Post by: gmoen on December 28, 2009, 10:35:01 PM

Hi folks

I am planning a botanical tour to the Carpathian's, Romania in July 2010. This will be my 7th visit to these mountains, and the third time I bring along a group (if there are any interest this year). I have arranged one group in 2006 for the Swedish garden society and another in 2008 for a group of Norwegians.

So now I thought it was time to invite some of you to come along to explore this impressive mountains and all the nice plants that grows there. I have made a homepage where you find more details about the tour. Please have an understanding for the fact that my english skills might be slightly limited.

Thank's Maggi........even if it's normally nice summer weather down there in July, some best of luck might be a good suplement to the unpredictable days of global warming. You never know  ;D
