LISDOLA
A simple thank you is not enough to all of you, especially
our 2005 interns, who have tirelessly toiled at LISDOLA over the past two
months. We trimmed all of the roses in the rose garden, created two
potting/growing beds for anticipated plant donations, weeded, shoveled,
raked, tilled, and cleaned up the beds and thinned some of the plants. The
enthusiasm of the 2005 interns caused me to fill up with tears! They
insisted on two additional work days that had not been officially
scheduled. We still have two more official workdays on the calendar;
Monday, April 25 and Monday, May 23. There is still lots of weeding and
mulching that needs to be done and we will be needing help with the care
and watering of the donated plants that will be housed there over the
summer months. Rica Potenz and I both want to give a special thanks to our
2005 interns.

2005 International Master Gardener Conference in Saskatoon, Canada
Greetings Master Gardener Coordinators and Master Gardeners:
We have been working very hard to pull together a diverse
and interesting conference program filled with stimulating educational
sessions, world-class speakers and fabulous garden tours. Combine the
conference with the pre- and post-conference tours and we're sure you'll
agree that Master Gardeners will be treated to an unforgettable learning
and travel experience.
On behalf of the Master Gardeners of Saskatchewan we
cordially invite you to be our special guests. Not only is this the 10th
International Master Gardener Conference, but in 2005 the province of
Saskatchewan is celebrating 100 years since joining the Canadian
confederation, so there is even more to see and do here during this
special year. For those of you who joined us for the 1995 International
Master Gardener Conference, welcome back for an even more memorable
experience. For the rest of you, come to Saskatoon, enjoy our unique brand
of hospitality and share the passion of our Master Gardeners.
I, and all of the members of the 2005 International Master
Gardener Conference Organizing Committee, look forward to seeing all of
you here in Saskatoon in July!
