Hi;
is the field trip for August going to happen? If so, where can I find the information? I write the gardening column for the Spokane Examiner web site (http://www.examiner.com/gardening-in-spokane/laurie-brown) and would like to put it in the Week Ahead column on Sunday.
Thanks,
Laurie
Hey Laurie,
Sorry for the later reply. I sent you an email with some people to contact. The date was changed to the 16th and I’ll update the page.
