AVSA's Best Variety List, compiled by Floyd Lawson, is on page 8 in this issue. Our members' top 25 favorites are listed with a
description of each from our First Class database. If you are looking for the perfect show plant or a few to round out your
collection, you'll find them here!
On page 18, read "How I Grow Show Plants," by Tom Greer. From a presentation he gave at the 2008 Dixie Convention,
Tom tells how six months after he started growing African violets he won Best in Show!
Bill Price, grower of the plant that won Best in Show at the 2008 AVSA convention, shares his techniques in "Growing
Kohlerias" (or "How I learned to stop worrying and love the spots...") on page 36. Bill has included lots of color photos
of his gorgeous plants.
Growing plants in caves? That's exactly what Linda Golubski does! Read about this most unusual gardening location in
"You Grow What, Where?" on page 52.
Nancy Carr explains all about "Water" on page 58. From the types of water, additives, and when and how to water,
she covers it all!

Watch the Progress
The AVSA website is in need of improvements. It is estimated that it will take $30,000 to take care of security
issues and provide full service to members. It isn't possible with our current
budget. Your help is needed. A campaign to raise the money has
begun with the "thermometer" on the left to track our progress toward the
goal. If you, your club or your members wish to help, please make a
donation to the AVSA Booster Fund and make a note that you wish for your gift
to go to the Web Site Upgrade. Watch the thermometer to see how we are doing!
The website upgrade will move the membership
software from the office to the website. It will allow for online membership
application and renewals, members only section of the website and online
ordering and convention registration. Security of the website will also be
improved. This is bringing our office technology to the current web technology
that is available. This cost includes licensing of the software, migration
from the office to online and some modification of the existing website. The
estimate also includes training for updating and maintaining the website. This
is a move from the 20th century to the 21st Century.
