The APS has had an inquiry from a municipal garden in Baltimore regarding getting advice about their peonies. We do not have any APS members in Baltimore.

Are any of you nearby and interested in making contact with the person who reached out? It could be a bit of fun.

I'm in Baltimore! But I hardly feel like an expert. I would be happy to help out with what little I know.

Thanks Hiyamakki! We are trying to get more information on what they are looking for. Stay tuned!

Thanks for volunteering, Hiyamakki! The request was from the curator at a garden in Elkridge MD. It sounds like they have around 70 peonies and just don't know how to take care of them well. This fell to the APS president, Lois Girton, who replied to him to get more details, so far he hasn't written back. If Elkridge is close to you and he does write back and needs help I'll send you a treemail if that's okay. APS has started a program of Reference Gardens that will be listed on the APS website with what the garden contains, sounds like Lois thinks this one might qualify but would have to be visited to be sure.

Elkridge is about an hour away from me but if they only need someone to come out a few times that should be doable. I can always take photos and make some notes.
