Dear Folks,

Coming up the end of the Month and in November!

Two Events at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum are coming up the end of October and in November.  Mark Your Calendars!

Herb Festival Saturday October 24
11:00 AM - 3:00 pm
"Herb is the word" during the final Saturday of October's annual Fall Plant Sale fundraiser and we'll have a variety of herbs available for purchase. This recurring Fall event is strategically scheduled for late October to take advantage of optimal herb planting time. Meet members of the Arizona Herb Association and browse items at their booth; learn about container gardening from Catherine 'The Herb Lady' Crowley, all beneath the shady grove of pistachio trees across from our Wing Memorial Herb Garden.


Arboretum Book Festival Saturday, November 21
 
I will be one of many authors there (Last year there were about 30 of us!)

Meet authors from across southern Arizona, writers from genres ranging from historical fiction and non-fiction, to mystery and suspense, memoir and children's books. Our Autumn foliage remains glorious in early December, here's a chance 'to meet the person behind the pen' and take home personalized holiday gifts for bookworms on your list. Plans for the day include readings by select authors, music; maybe even a writing workshop!


Bring cash for a tasty lunch in our picnic area - Chef Eric & Terri of Tall Order Catering will be grilling bratwursts for $4 each, burgers for $5 -- and vegetarian chili at $3-a-bowl (cash only). Visit our website in November for the agenda and list of participating authors, or call BTA 520. 689. 2723

I hope you can make one or both of these events!

We should be through the current re-do on our heat by the beginning of next week and into the beautiful weather to get out in the garden more.  Get your growing on!

Have a best day,
