Our meeting concluded with a fabulous presentation by Mariya Navazio of the Arboretum spoke on "Perfect Conifers for Urban Gardens and Containers". The talk was followed with a tour of the Gotelli Conifer collection! Volunteers are always welcome on Thursday's to help in the conifer garden.
That seems like wonderful District Awards Meeting. All of members are looking quite excited for this annual meet. I too will be organizing appreciation event for my employees so I am trying to find best event venues in Houston. Could you help me regarding this?
