This request of Lynn's brings back memories of my first Hybridizing Clinic in 2014:

Didn't have a good semp to include but a semp-esque handmade one went well with the sedum:


Can't beat a hat that includes a gardener and a bicycle...


2014, a very good year when I finally met Lynn...and Kevin and Julia and Patty and of course Greg! Meeting Connie was a bonus...


The next day, Kevin's Clinic coincided with a rainy day and this was a good one to wear.

Those hats are so fun !!!
I will bring some plants and maybe some gardener's soap.Maybe even sempervivum soap and some healing hand cream for after a day in the garden.

Adding you Jo Ann. It is done.

Bev, what a trip down memory lane, seeing those photos. And just think we have many new people coming for the first time this coming April. More memories.

Hello all

I'm a local illustrator and I'm looking forward to attending on Friday and bringing my work with me. I specialize in technical illustration and I've been painting works of the succulents in Lynns collection. In April I plan on bringing the originals of the illustrations as well as prints from the succulent collection and some other floral illustrations that I've done over the years.

I look forward to joining you this year!

Welcome Cynthia. We look forward to seeing you in April. I will put you down for Friday attendance and as a Vendor.

Done, you have been added. Will you be attending the Clinic on Saturday?

Which bring to my mind. I need to know what days each of you will attend. Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Please let me know. Some of you I know will be attending all three days. I have you marked.
Others I know are coming, but not which days.

So I don't know yet - if I get an invite from my friends to England or Croatia, I wil go there. But I don't think I will this year, so hoping to go to the clinic. Will let you know.

Oh Christie, you know you want to come here.
Invite them to the Clinic.

Please put us on the list, Lynn, for all 3 days. We are determined to make it again. We had such a great time last year, and everyone felt like old friends.

Karen and Kent (?) maybe I'll finally meet ya'll in person 😉

Karen, you and Kent are added.
What a great way to start my new year off, knowing you two will be here in April.

Karen, looking forward to seeing you and Kent at your 2nd Clinic!

Yes, I want to be there on Saturday.

Here are a couple of examples of my work that I'll be bringing. I apologize for the images being low resolution. I will bring some of my iris prints as well.

Cynthia, I added you to Saturday's events.

Wow Cynthia those are really beautiful :thumbsup:

We are set at the hotel. I have to leave a deposit so this all happens and sign some documents on Monday but the registration should go into effect shortly. We got $20 off their normal rate plus we'll be having a special plating at their restaurant.

The chef uses local and seasonal food for the preparations so he'll prepare a menu for us. We have to know choices and number attending at least a month ahead because of this special meal. I think you will all enjoy this and we'll not have to travel anywhere for dinner.

Can't wait to have you all here!

Kevin

That all sounds wonderful, Kevin. The buffet at Robert's Crossing will be great too.

Hooray how nice!! :hurray:
These clinics get me going, even months ahead of time :whistling:
Looking forward to good times

Anybody starting on their hat yet?...
