Who's Attending the Madison Fling?


Will you be part of the fun at the Madison Garden Bloggers Fling, June 23-26, 2022? If your name is on this list, you will! If it's not, we'd love to have you join us!

Here are the people who’ve signed up so far for our event, which includes three full days of garden touring and an opening reception in the “Mad City.”

We’re happy to announce that many new Flingers will be joining us this year, and they are noted with asterisks (*). If you’re new, you’re part of a great group. If you’re a veteran Flinger, please welcome our new friends.

We’ll continue to update this list until the Fling. Names and handles will appear here when registrations are completed. (Please email us at
