Southeast Regional Meeting Oct 24-26, 2008 Clemson SC |
|
Posted by: flomosr on Sunday, April 13, 2008 - 04:09 PM |
Our SE regional meeting will be held on the campus of Clemson University at the State Botanical garden of South Carolina. This should prove to be a most interesting meeting with a completely fresh and educational format. We will have expert speakers during our Saturday morning session. followed by a lakeside lunch, then an afternoon of conifer intensive workshops and a tour of the SC Botanical Garden. Highlighted on Friday night at this meeting will be our first reference gardens in the region. This will be an opportunity to have these gardens introduce themselves to our attendees, and also to have our attendees get information about how to sign up their own local gardens in the program.
We will have our traditionally outstanding auction on Sat evening at the meeting banquet, but we will follow the close of the meeting Sunday with a fabulous plant sale opportunity from the SC Botanical Garden. They will host a plant sale for their members and our meeting attendees and have agreed to open vendor spots for a limited number of ACS member nurserymen and women to sell conifers at the SC Botanical Garden sale. More details to follow, but this should be a real winner of a meeting for everyone!

Maud Henne wins SE Region's first Merit Award |
|
Posted by: flomosr on Sunday, December 09, 2007 - 05:22 PM |

The Southeastern Region presented their first Award of Merit to Maud Henne at the region's meeting in Louisville in September. This award was created to reward those in the SE Region who further the region's efforts to mature and grow as a part of ACS. With it we hope to both recognize and to promote SE regional ACS efforts at education, increased membership, research or just plain hard work for the region's goals.Our award winner this year can claim a long history with ACS, first before the SE Region existed, then fully involved in the efforts to have the SE Region emerge as a region that could be responsive to the needs of our members. She most recently won the national ACS Award of Merit, but the SE Region at that time had already selected her as our first winner. As a constant champion of the conifers we all love, Maud has certainly been a key asset to the success of the Southeastern Region, serving as meeting coordinator on national and regional meetings produced by the SE, and as both Vice President and President of the region. She continues to work hard in her home state of VA on a more local level to encourage new members and new gardens in her area. The SE congratulates Maud, and looks forward to recognizing future SE members with this award.

2008 Northeastern Regional Meeting |
|
Posted by: LarryN on Sunday, December 09, 2007 - 05:21 PM |
The 2008 Northeastern Regional Meeting will be held October 3 – 5, 2008. This year’s meeting will take place in Saddlebrook, New Jersey. A highlight of this meeting will be Watnong Gardens which was established by Don and Hazel Smith in 1961. Don and Hazel saw the need for dwarf conifers and other specialty plants in the landscape. We look forward to viewing some of the older specimens as well as some of the new additions to the property. Our trip thru Northern New Jersey will also feature tours of the 3 other private gardens. One garden features over 450 dwarf conifers and collector’s plants and another garden features over 500 conifers plus the second largest beech collection in the USA.
Join us for these fantastic gardens, outstanding plant auctions and copious conifer comradery! Regional meetings are an excellent opportunity to learn more about dwarf conifers, see them growing in a garden setting and opportunities to purchase more conifers for your landscape or collection. Complete details and online meeting registration will be available in early 2008.

Scott Burrell elected to National Board from SE Region |
|
Posted by: flomosr on Monday, June 04, 2007 - 04:54 AM |

Meet Scott Burrell, the new SE Region representative to the National ACS Board. Scott is currently the Director of Horticulture for the VA Historical Society in Richmond VA.(http://www.vahistorical.org/)
Scott has a keen eye for conifers and has included some of the most beautiful specimens in the gardens. He is currently establishing a larger dwarf collection on the grounds, and has been diligent in exploring the options and expanding the choices he thinks may work in his area. His position at the VA Historical Society makes him very familiar with non-profit organizations, and with volunteer boards, so he should be immediately ready to contribute to the board's work.
We in the SE appreciate his willingness to serve, and know he will be a real asset to the national board.
Flo Chaffin SE Region President
