Re: [Aroid-l] Recommendations?

From: Charles Gramling <chazmg1 at citlink.net> on 2016.04.05 at 23:57:13(23601) I am in Nashville Wed PM & Thu AM, the on to Chattanooga. I got a very early start in MN this AM & made the MO Botanic Gardens - WOW have they the land & have spent the time - everything I hoped for, except too early for the big bloom. I was thinking of stopping at Vanderbilt to look at that paleo squirrel, thanks. +More > On Apr 3, 2016, at 11:28 AM, Ertelt, Jonathan B wrote: > > Charles - > I would definitely second John's recommendation of Atlanta Bot. Gdns - still relatively young, it is already a world class botanical garden, with numerous impressive collections - and their upper elevation house is absolutely amazing. Obviously I have no idea how you're traveling or what kind of time you have, but the collections at UNC Charlotte used to be quite impressive (I say used to because I was there 20+ years ago and helped make it so, and have been back to visit several times since, but probably not in the past 10 years). Also if you're in Nashville TN for any length of time I'd be glad to show you around our houses on the Vanderbilt campus - no where near the size or scope of either MoBot or Atlanta, but we have a fair sampling of aroids as well as lots of other fun plants - not necessarily warranting a two hour out of your way stop, but again I don't know how you're traveling. Hope you get to see lots, regardless. > Jonathan > > Jonathan Ertelt, Greenhouse Manager > Vanderbilt University > ________________________________________ > From: aroid-l-bounces@www.gizmoworks.com [aroid-l-bounces@www.gizmoworks.com] on behalf of John Criswick [criswick@spiceisle.com] > Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2016 10:28 AM > To: 'Discussion of aroids' > Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Recommendations? > > Not especially for Aroids, but the Atlanta Botanical Gardens is a must see. > They have superb climate-controlled houses that contain cloud forest > wonders.
