A Very Successful Joint Meeting 



The joint summer meeting of the New England Nursery Association 

 (NENA), the New Hampshire Plant Growers Association (NHPGA), 

 and New Hampshire Landscape Association (NHLA) was a sun-filled, ac- 

 tion-filled day Held at Dell-Lea Country Club, Chichester, on August 

 18, over 800 guests toured the lOO-plus vendor trade show, toured the 

 operations of the five co-hosts, ate heartily, and played lots of volley- 

 ball. 



Dr. Stan Swier, UNH Cooperative Extension, gave an early morning 

 talk and demonstration on protective clothing for pesticide application; 

 later in the day, Leslie van Berkum, van Berkum Nursery, and Kris 

 Fenderson, a landscape designer and horticultural author, gave a walk- 

 ing tour of the vendors' displays, commenting on material shown. 

 These, as well as the bus tours, were well-attended. 



In such an event, the efforts of many people contribute to its suc- 

 cess. In this case, thanks go to Virginia Wood, NENA Executive Director, 

 for handling the planning, publicity, and registration; to our hosts at 

 Dell-Lea; to the five co-hosts: D.S. Cole Growers, Gateway Gardens, 

 Millican Nurseries, Pleasant View Gardens, and van Berkum Nursery; 

 and, most certainly, to Bill Stockman, Spider Web Gardens, who did 

 much of the coordinating and liaison work. 



And volleyball — twelve teams entered this year's competition. Sweet- 

 Scapes, from Worcester, MA, is the 1Q96 champion. Congratulations.
