Abstract:
In 1999 I was the lucky recipient of the Eastern Region, North America I.P.P.S. exchange propagator to the Scandinavian Region. It was a memorable trip and my wife and I saw a great deal of horticulture.

Denmark was the choice of the Scandinavian Region for their 1999 meeting and that was the ultimate destination.
