In the lovely home of Mary Hunter, the Shady Characters gathered together, where Holly Poling shared a sampling of her botanical print collection. An avid procurer of botanicals for nearly 20 years, Holly's knowledge is as extensive as her collection, with some pieces over 200 years old. Holly assured us that, while we may chase the elusive tulip, antique botanicals are still available to brighten our homes and remind us of days when the study of plant life was an education and an art. Betsy Scott presented a wonderful buffet of casseroles, ending our meal with beautiful Valentine cookies, ensuring us that the love she shared with us through our Deep Root readings filled both hearts and tummies.
