Well, it's time to say many thanks to all who have been posting pictures/videos from the Conference for the enjoyment of the ones at home

[Richard Green]

I arrived home from Pruhonice yesterday exhausted and completely rocked-out!  It was my first International Conference, and any worries I had about going were immediately banished by the wonderful welcome from both the Czech organisers and all the other attendees.  The international mix of participants were universally welcoming and everyone was determined to have a good time.

My grateful thanks and congratulations go to the Czech organisers for a splendid event.  I would also like to thank the owners of the 8 gardens we visited.  It is a huge thing to entertain three complete busloads of Rockers, one after the other, into their private gardens during the course of just one day.

John and I couldn't attend this year, due to some fairly, serious health problems with John, after getting rear ended on his bicycle by a car. I was so disappointed, especially, not being able to get Daphnes from Herman, and Saxifrages from Karel Lang.  I would have loved to see the follow up of Jiri's tufa tunnel. 

Please post photos of your new plants.  Would love to savor them with you.  Cecile and John

Just want to thank everyone for all the hard work that made such a wonderful holiday for me . The weather was perfect not sure how they managed this . It was lovely to catch up with everyone again and meet new folks . Just can't wait till the next conference.

As Richard said it was amazing what the Czech organisers did for us . Everything was thought out and nothing was to much trouble. Even organising boxes and posting our plants . My box arrived this morning making me so happy   

The gardens that we visited were so lovely , everyone different . We are so lucky to be members of the SRGC without this I wouldn't have met so many gardeners from all over the world.

Thanks everyone for the fun time and even though I don't want to wish my life away I can't wait till the next time .
Take care folks and happy gardening .

Great to see all those pictures Maggi - a lot I haven't seen on Facebook. Really envious of all those at the Conference this year - need to work on some nursery and garden help by the time it comes round again...
