propagation.

Nineteen Ramblers met
today – a cool summer morning!
Announcement: Hugh and Carol will be back in Athens on Tuesday,
June 21st. They and Linda will be honored at a reception and book signing at
the Garden, starting at 6:30 PM. They might be able to attend the Ramble on
Thursday, June 23rd. Carol is reported to be much better and walking without a
cane! That Thursday evening there will be a Cafe Au Libris author event at the
Athens Regional Library, 7:00 to 8:00 PM, with Hugh, Carol and Linda, so if you
missed an earlier opportunity for them to sign your book this would be your
last chance. (You did purchase the book (Field
Guide to the Wildflowers of Georgia), didn’t you?)
Today’s reading: Dale read an excerpt from Alison Hawthorne
Deming’s essay, Field Notes on Culture,
Biology and Emergence, in Zoologies, 2014, Milkweed Editions, pp. 235-237.
(Note: she was this year’s Georgia Review Earth Day speaker here at the
Botanical Garden on April 21.)
