If you have no big plans this weekend - please come to the Frolic today or tomorrow. It's a neat event put on by Daphne Jones (barefoot trimmer) and her mom Judith. You would be hard pressed to find two more stellar people than Judith and Daphne. And it will help the horses.
I have been to this event and if you like plants - you will LOVE this event - very neat things and unusual plants to select from - vendors come from all over. Please come - it will benefit SAFE and NWESC.
Fabulous Fronderosa Frolic 2010
You are invited to
The Fabulous Fronderosa Frolic
August 14-15 from
10am-3pm, 2010
“Fronderosa Frolic is a celebration of plants and summer… that has become the horticultural equivalent of Woodstock”. (Val Easton, Seattle Times column, 4/8/04)
A festival of rare plants, garden art, artifacts, scintillating botanical conversations with some of the Northwest’s premier specialty growers and garden artists, and raffles benefiting Save a Forgotten Equine (safehorses.org) and NW Equine Stewardship Center (NWESC.org). Specialty nurseries are rapidly disappearing due to the aggressive marketing done by the large wholesale growers. Many of the new plants introduced by these commercial growers are first discovered or grown by keen growers operating small specialty nurseries. Please support them if you are interested in a diverse range of plants that have been correctly identified and tested to thrive in your gardens.
