Our trip has become a gardener meet-up and I love it. Yesterday Mia and I had a whirlwind and excellent coffee break in Atlanta, today Toni Senory hosted us at The 5&10 in Athens, GA.

Considering Toni’s twitter name, I realized I wouldn’t recognize a sassafras tree if it walked up and bought me a drink. Turns out, they grow all over the US east of the Mississippi and have quite the story to tell.

To bad we aren’t passing through Owensboro, KY.
