No, that wasn't the menu of edibles available this morning at the Seven Springs resort, location of the September Mother Earth News Fair. But they are areas of expertise of a group of wonderful authors (now friends) at our table this morning. It was such a pleasure to get to know Melissa Caughey and Jessi Bloom, and catch up with friends Jeanine Davis and Nan Chase. It was a reunion of sorts, since all but Jessi were at last week's Heritage Harvest Festival as well. Yesterday I got to spend some time with Ira Wallace and the other delightful folks manning the tomato tasting/Southern Exposure Seed Exchange tent.
I found it so valuable to compare notes on our shared experiences as relatively new garden writers, and look forward to seeing where each of our friendships and connections go next. It is clear that we all share deep passions for our relative areas of expertise, and value our connections with those that we reach through our books, blogs, and workshops.
To find out more about each of the people I mentioned above, please click the highlighted links - you will find information about their various books and other activities.
Here are just a few first pics from the event taken last evening. Any similarities to the Overlook Hotel are purely coincidental!
