I'm so excited about Buffa10, the garden bloggers' get together for this year. If you didn't make it to Austin or Chicago, please come to Buffalo, New York, July 8-11. (If you went to either of those, I'm preaching to the choir.)
It's going to be great to visit, in person, some of those fabulous Buffalo Garden Walk gardens we've heard so much about. While visiting botanic gardens and public spaces is nice, there's something special about visiting a person's home garden, which is infused with the personality of the gardener. I can't wait to see the garden of Elizabeth Licata who is organizing this shindig with Jim of Art of Gardening. But even better than seeing gorgeous gardens is getting to meet and hang out with some of the nicest, most fun people you've always wanted to meet, garden bloggers. Don't worry that you don't know anyone, you will feel at home right away. Read this account of my experience of going to a city I'd never visited to an event with people I'd never met. I hope to see you there.
*I'm calling it BuffaFling because I can't call it Spring Fling, as it's being held in the middle of summer.

New York ... wow that is not so far from me! Maybe if I can get away that weekend.
Well I wish I could attend. So, I will be devouring all of the information and photos that you bring back to share!
See you there~~gail
I bet you all will have a super fantastic time!
Thats a long drive from Georgia :(
South/Southwest, Midwest, and now the Northeast! I can't wait to see what their gardens look like, and I'm already looking forward to the interesting and fun conversations with other Flingers in Buffalo.
Thanks too for the link to your first post-Fling post. It brought back a lot of great memories.
(Bet you're glad not to be planning it this time, eh?)
Would be there if I was nearer MMD :) Hope that you all have a great time and look forward to reading more about it!
I like "Buffafling"! Hope to see you there. MMD.
Well, that was supposed to be a comma before "MMD" in the comment above, but you get my drift...
I really hope to be there! I know it's going to be a great time! Also, I love the name, which does need to use something other than "spring."
We'll be there! Can't wait, the mind started whirring with excitement as soon as we heard the details. I know the gardens will be fabulous and so will the companionship. :-)

Still waiting for a get together west of the Mississippi...Have fun!
Carol - plan on coming, take a look at the website, and try hard to make it happen. I was convinced I wasn't going to Austin until about a month before.
Darla & Skeeter - maybe next year's Spring Fling should be in Florida - in February!
Gail - yes!
Tina - I'm sure it will be.
Pam - not being involved in the planning is the best part.
Anna - will the British bloggers be getting together this year?
Susan - I'm looking forward to meeting you.
ROR - I really hope you can make it. I need someone to back me up on what pizza is really supposed to be like.
Frances - I'm looking forward to seeing you again too.
Town Mouse - I'm thinking there needs to be a Fling in Oregon or Washington, I've never been there.
Thanks so much for posting this,MMD! Beckie keeps asking me "when is the Buffalo Fling," and I had no idea. Looking forward to another great time--and I like the name!
Mom and I will be there, for sure! We can't wait! You guys were so nice to her, even though she isn't a blogger. She's such a big part of my blog though, in so many ways. Anyway, our hotel reservation has been made and we can't wait! It will be nice to see you and everyone else again! :-)))
I'm going to do my best to make it. Can't wait!
I'm really hoping to be there. I'm sure it'll be wonderful fun and I'd dearly love to meet everyone!
