Do you know when it would be, then maybe I could make arrangements for Mom? Maybe I could get my niece to go as well since she loves to garden and she lives in Califon, not far from Hackettstown. If I knew how to put a link to her website I would so here it is in "longhand"

She has some wonderful pics and blogs about Emma, her daughter. There are some pics of my garden ( if interested)when she was down on Memorial Day, so you'd have to look around that time. She has quite an eye for those "great" shots
