[PCA] April 22-FREE New England Wild Flower Society Earth Day

[Debra Strick]

Dear Olivia,  
 
Perhaps sending you this email today will help make this late snow melt faster... Here at New England Wild Flower Society headquarters at Garden in the witchhazels are in bloom,  and we are looking forward to savoring the full parade of bloom with you during our 75th anniversary season. 
 
 I hope you'll be able to let people know about the upcoming April 14-15 Garden Opening, the April 22nd FREE Earth Day (See full article below)  and the upcoming ART GOES WILD anniversary exhibition GRAND OPENING May 19.  
 
ART GOES WILD exhibit and festival information is at http://www.newfs.org/artgoeswild/agwpress.html
 
With dozens of ART GOES WILD events coming, and hundreds of classes, trips, and workshops planned for Spring and summer, I'd like to make sure you're receiving only what may interest you, so please let me know if these fit your needs, or anything else I could send. 
 
Enjoy the season - Deb
