Northwest Flower and Garden Show is coming

February 20th thru the 24th at the Convention Center in Seattle. Good news for those of you who have small yards or live in a condo or townhouse. Approximately 1/3 of the 110 free seminars at the show this year will focus on small-space gardening. Also, on display will be 13 container gardens and several patio displays. Of course, this is in addition to the typical landscaping ideas for larger yards. Plan on paying big bucks for admission...$19 at the door, but you will be dazzled with all the color, texture, fragrance and ideas! Sally Fields will be co-speaker at one of the free seminars entitled "Gardening For Good Health" on Saturday at 1:30 in room 6E, and if our daughter's wedding were not schedule for that day, I would surely be there to see the Flying Nun. Of course, you should register ahead for this seminar to be assured of a seat. Just click on this link to register: http://www.gardenshow.com/seattle/seminars/sally_field.asp

Be sure to bring your camera and capture all the delights of the flower show. You will find great tips to help you with your garden and there are a great many goodies to purchase, from bulbs to orchids and from ceramics to trellis'. ENJOY!!
