I hope everyone is having a Happy Holiday so far. I wanted to take a moment and share a quick story.

Earlier in the year, I had the chance to interview P. Allen Smith at the 2008 GIE+Expo. I was so honored to not only meet him, but to be able to chat with him for a good 15 minutes. I actually did a forum post after the event because I was so impressed by him.

P. Allen Smith is an award-winning garden designer and host of the public television program, P. Allen Smith's Garden Home and the syndicated 30-minute show P. Allen Smith Gardens. He has emerged as America's most recognized and respected garden design expert, providing ideas and inspiration through multiple media venues.

As a fourth generation nurseryman who owned and operated his own garden center, Smith gained years of practical experience guiding the gardening public before he launched a career in television. After studying garden history and design at the University of Manchester in England through an International Rotary Scholarship and becoming a Certified Fellow of the Royal Horticultural Society, he returned to this country with the mission of inspiring Americans to embrace the joy of creating beautiful gardens.

Well, I was honored once again to find out that P. Allen Smith has just become a member of LGWV. This is going to be good for the LGWV members as well. P. Allen will be sharing with us some of his articles, some of his favorite recipes, and so much more.

I’m excited to see all his posts as he has over 7000 pages of content on his website: www.pallensmith.com You should check it out when you have a few spare months. Seriously, that is how much information he has on his site.

I hope everyone keeps having a Happy Holiday Season. Keep checking back and share this site with your friends. If you’re not already a member, feel free to join. We have a lot of exciting things happening in 2009. As members, you’ll always find out first.

Hey, if P. Allen Smith just joined, you never will know who will become the next LGWV member. Thanks for all your support.
