Subject: St. Louis Peonies

Dear Friends;
This Saturday I gave a program at the Missouri Botanic Garden on peonies. It was sponsored by the Rock Garden Club, but open to the public. I concentrated on herbaceous peonies, but gave a brief review of all peonies and how they are related. I planned the talk for about an hour, but with interruptions and questions it lasted nearly 2 hours with lots and LOTS of interest. I suggested from the kind and number of questions, that St. Louis NEEDS a peony club. In a city that has an Iris Society, a Rock Garden Club, and other societies for Daylilies, Hosta, Daffodils and many others; they are missing out on a peony society. There are many benefits to having a peony society. Answering some basic questions is just the start.

One attendee wrote the next day to say they had made a quick order of 5 of my suggested cultivars and joined the Heartland Peony Society. Yep, they NEED a local peony club.

Does this sound like gardeners in your area?
