>From Emanuela:

I thought that some BSW members could be interested in knowing about this 
new Botanical Society, founded?in 2020 by Munira Al Hazani, a colleague 
(and friend) of mine. I'm trying to circulate its first newsletter, as she 
and the rest of the board ?would like to get more visibility, especially 
here in the US, thanks to the fact that a few months ago they met with 
USBG executives and staff.?

Here's the link:

>From Jil:

Hi,
If you know anyone who might be interested in this adorable place, please
share. We checked it out yesterday. The owners will direct you to the key 
if
you want to take a look. There's a path across the Clara Barton Parkway to
the C&O Canal a few hundred feet from their house.?

They planted a lot of native plants in their yard and woukd love the new
owners to be similar minded.

Thanks,

Jil
