Buckhead Men's Garden Club - Italy Vacations - Italy Gardens

This week I was a speaker at a meeting of the Buckhead Men's Garden Club, speaking on Italian Gardens. I learned so much from them. All the talk these days is about the drought and how it is affecting plants and nurseries. Everyone knows how damp a basement can get. Well, one gentleman had a dehumidfier located in his basement that would pull the humidity out of the air and the result was that he was able to collect several gallons of water daily. He kept the door to his basement shut so the humidity did not escape and then he used the collected water to irrigate his plants. I bet everyone in Atlanta now wishes they had a damp basement.

On a further note, my favorite nursery has gone backrupt. Pikes declared bankruptcy this week. It seems no one is buying plants. And each month when I attend the Georgia Perrenial Plant Association, I hear stories about how small nurseries had to close their doors because of a lack of customers due to the drought.
