He met Christine in Vancouver and also other horticultural therapists in US. Christine has shared her wonderful time with Larry in her web. http://www.christinepollard.org/news.htmlLarry’s sharing is coming soon.
On that day, we met at 9:00 a.m. at the train station. Then, we took minibus and arrived at Produce Green at 10:00 a.m., we divided into two groups. Each group will be responsible for one area for landscape design. We visited the site, measured the planters, conducted plant survey and also discussed about the work schedule. We also made the pressed flower name card. It was very interesting and beautiful.

**** Sharing after meeting
This is the 1 st program organised by our association. We, committee members, took it seriously and with heart. We prepared and had proofread all the presentation powerpoint one week before the program.
On that day, Larry , Cammy and I meet earlier and buy some snacks. We bought some cakes, cookies and some "mini" bread. We consider that some friends may rush for the meeting and have no time for dinner after work.
In the meeting, I shared the conference and site visit, especially the "Healing Grief Garden". Larry had his book sharing. Michael introduced Gompnrena Globosa L. and also horticulture Q &A. The most impressed was the sharing of Mr Tsui, roof garden in his school. The design of the roof garden got many awards. We welcome sharings on horticulture & horticulture therapy in our coming meetings.
Totally, we had 32 participants. Thanks & welcome those joined our assocation. Bonnie was very busy at the application and issuing receipts.
