Jo Ellen Meyers Sharp interviews Natalie and Joe Carmolli about their upcoming performances in ‘A Betrothal’

Dear GardenComm members,

Greetings from the chilly Midwest, where fall has finally arrived and winter is just a few weeks away.

2020 has been a year of firsts:

• First COVID19 pandemic of our lifetime.

• First time companies of all kinds had to shut down and then adapt to first-time curb service, deliveries and online shopping.

• First time the GardenComm conference and expo were virtual.

• First time many of our lives have gone virtual with friends, families and clients.

• First time Zooming for many of us and the first time for Zoom (or similar apps) as the only way we can do programs.

When things are so challenging, what can we do? 

Let’s put on a show! One with a flower theme! Done!

GardenComm will present its first end-of-the-year special event fundraiser. A Betrothal is a 35-minute comedy about two iris growers who meet at a competition under a tent during a rainstorm. Natalie and Joe Carmolli will perform in the play by Lanford Wilson, which will be videoed by Adriana Robinson of Spring Meadow Nursery. Pat Stone, publisher of GreenPrints, will entertain with a musical introduction.

A Betrothal will be video taped making it available on demand December 3 through 6. This makes it very easy to select a convenient time for viewing …and to pause it for a break, if needed. We hope you, your family and guests will enjoy this GardenComm special event. Tickets are available now here!
