Hey all, I just wanted to find out how many of us there are from Michigan. I know of at least 3 or 4 but wanted to see if any more are lurking about. Guess what??? I am working on getting Patti to come visit us in Michigan and I need your help. First I wanted to find out where everyone lives and then I wanted to know if you have any good family run nurseries, greenhouses or other types of garden centers you love to visit. Maybe we could get Patti to come visit a few of them and therefore visit us....what do you all think? Kim

It's warlord representing the town of Fremont up here in NW Mi. home of Gerber Baby Food. They use a whole variety of different veggies to make baby food. I don't know if they still give tours of their facility since Nestle bought the place. Otherwise Patti could do an episode on how veggies are turned into baby food. I too would also like to meet her. She has a warm friendly presence in front of the camera. I enjoy watching her movie clips which are fun to see as well as informative. Well, c ya in the garden. warren

Hey Warren, do you happen to frequent any family run garden centers that may be interested in Patti visiting? I am trying to set up something of a tour for her. Maybe you could ask around just to test the waters. I did a one in my city and they are interested in the possibility of selling her seed collections and who knows if enough are interested maybe Patti will do a tour. Kim

Hi, I'm in Burt. I have a couple of small family greenhouses in my area. The one I really like offers a free class one a month that is hands on and always lots of fun.

Annette, I am acting as the unofficial, self-appointed, promoter of Patti coming to Michigan. Next time you visit the center could you casually ask if they would be interested in Patti coming and doing a talk or maybe we can think up something she could teach...I'll bet if we get enough interest we can convince her to come and visit.
