I was one of the ones who used to drive up to Cleveland from Houston. At the time I was living in an apartment and did not have a garden of my own so I wasn't into herb growing, but I appreciated the food. <BR/>Oh and I knew Warren too (slightly, from college).

Then I read your post about the white tulips in your friend Amy's garden and was struck by how much comfort we both found in a garden. It's nice to feel that connection with you. Can't wait for Chicago.<BR/><BR/>Pamela, it's really wonderful to be at the beginning of what I hope will be a long and meaningful friendship. Funny, I've never asked if you garden!vbdbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12540606885226214022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145164699422065790.post-55842836782749986102009-03-07T08:04:00.000-08:002009-03-07T08:04:00.000-08:00Vickie, I had no idea you were involved with Hillt...Vickie, I had no idea you were involved with Hilltop and knew Madalene personally. One of my greatest regrets in life is that I was never able to visit Hilltop; my grandmother considered it heaven on earth. So when Madalene and Gwen came to Round Top, I was delighted. I had the great good fortune to take one of Madalene's herb classes at Round Top about 10 years ago. I went back a few months later and helped her crew plant daffodil and ipheion bulbs in the woods near the gardens. I was thrilled and delighted to have the chance to help continue her vision for the gardens. Madalene was a true Texas treasure and a national icon for herbalists. She will be mourned and missed.Cindy, MCOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094260737874973235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145164699422065790.post-46572561349674285322009-03-06T19:35:00.000-08:002009-03-06T19:35:00.000-08:00A very moving eulogy - I feel as if I met her, alb...A very moving eulogy - I feel as if I met her, albeit briefly.
