For those of you not far from T-town, this may be interesting.

I got this info from a friend's email there.

Also, if you have never looked around the U of A arboretum there, Its also

a neat place. I think its this weekend that the arboretum is having a a "family tree planting" activity to celebrate the anniversary of the arboretum this weekend. They also have some good seminars and plant sales there sometimes.
