Jane: Sally Walker is the amazing lady who runs Southwest Native Seed. Her daughter who lives in Raleigh was here last week and said everything was fine with her mom. She also said that Sally is planning to attend the NARGS National meeting next May 5-8 to be held here in Raleigh. For those that have ordered by mail, this will be a great chance to meet her and many other wonderful gardeners. The talks will have a strong emphasis on bulbs.
