Book update

Tropical Horticulture and Gardening, supposed to be printed last week has been delayed to next week. The Printer had too many deadlines to meet and I was bumped off my place in the queue.

Singapore Garden Festival

Singapore, which has been the pace-setter for gardening in tropical Asia since the 1970s, will host an international garden festival on 16 - 25 December 2006. This will be Singapore's first international garden festival and it is expected to attract 200,000 visitors. The Singapore festival, with the Royal Flora Horticultural Show in Thailand in November 2006 - January 2007, will dramatically signal the rise of Singapore and Thailand in the world of horticulture, long dominated by shows in England and the Netherlands. For tropical Asian gardeners, two international class events within one year at nearby locations is a really unexpected treat. Let us all support these events.
