On behalf of the International Plant Propagators Society (IPPS), we'd
like to welcome you to join us for our 35th Annual Southern Region meeting.
Our 2010 meeting is being held for the first time in the capital city of
Raleigh, NC at the Sheraton Downtown Raleigh, from October 10-13, 2010.
IPPS is an international professional society dedicated to propagating
plants and sharing propagation information. We've got a fantastic schedule
that includes nursery and garden tours, a chance to network with some of
the top minds in horticulture, and over 15 presentations from some of the
top speakers in our field including; Dr. Mike Dirr, Dr. Todd Lasseigne,
Dr. Sandy Reed, Dr. Tom Ranney, and many more. The meeting also includes
an amazing rare plant auction, all while enjoying some of the finest meals
that the South has to offer. To keep up with the latest developments and

PlantTrek
Two of our well-traveled plant nerd friends, Pat McCracken, of
McCracken's Nursery, and Barry Yinger of Asiatica Nursery, have begun a
plant lovers' tour business. The tours will offer the opportunity to travel
with these world-class plantsmen to see amazing plants and gardens both
domestically and abroad ... many of which would be inaccessible to non-tour
participants. The first domestic tour from June 5-12 (NJ through NC) will
be limited to the 48 participants. Pat will then lead the first
international tour to New Zealand in August 2010 and Barry will lead a
group to Thailand and Laos in late November. Further tours include one
to The Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium, one to Japan, and one to central
Africa are being planned. International groups will be limited to 15
participants. For more information or to sign up, contact Pat at
pat_mccracken@bellsouth.net or Barry at asiatica@nni.com.
