Honored guests included Jeff Cook of country music super-group Alabama, newest Country Music Hall of Fame member (and my new gardening buddy) Barbara Mandrell, "Little Miss Dynamite" Brenda Lee and Irlene Mandrell, Barbara's youngest sister who was part of their incredibly successful television show in the early '80's, Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters.
The new garden will include not only roses, but also daylilies. One of the newest daylilies has been named to honor Barbara Mandrell and her contributions to the music world. This is the presentation of the new daylily to Barbara so that she can take it home and plant it in her own garden. Barbara has become a serious gardener in the past few years and gardens with the same passion, enthusiasm and level of perfection that she performed with on stage.
After the dedication ceremony, a private luncheon was held for the celebrities and their families who were in attendance that day. I was honored to be a part of it and just had to have my picture taken with country music legend, Lynn Anderson.

What a fun post! Usually, pictures from a seminar are kind of boring. Celebs and the good captions made this interesting. Thanks.
Well it sounds like she DID promise you a rose garden. LOL
Maybe you can persuade Barbara [who still looks fabulous] to start a garden blog.
Glad you were there, and thanks for the pictures! I was there, too, and what a FUN day it was! Barbara and Lynn are my favorite entertainers EVER, and it was clear that they were having a blast, too!
