Reflections on a Garden
April 1st, 2009We weren’t sure it would happen– after all the temperature had been below freezing for the week before the scheduled planting day and on the day the plants were delivered it was an icy 18 degrees! Would the plants even be alive for planting? Would we have enough volunteers to put in the huge collection [...]
Bouquets of Thanks
March 11th, 2009It doesn’t take a village to put on a Flower Show; it takes an army! 6 weeks have passed since the 2009 Southeastern Flower Show closed and we are still hearing accolades pouring in daily from attendees, the voluteers, exhibitors, landscapers, vendors and even from our new host, the Cobb Galleria Centre. The beautiful gardens, [...]
Happy Gardening!
February 2nd, 2009It’s hard to say good-bye now that the 2009 Southeastern Flower Show has closed, and all the terrific exhibits and demonstrations are being packed away and removed. But the flower show will be back, bigger and better than ever before, in 2010, so mark your calendar now (I’m serious–go grab that calendar right now, [...]
You Just Have to Be Here
February 1st, 2009It would take a poet to describe exactly how beautiful the flowers are at this year’s garden show. It’s like that old saying, “you had to be there.” You have to be here, at the show, to truly appreciate the colors and fragrance of the blossoms, the abundance of environmentally-friendly ideas and products, and the [...]
These Boots are Made for ….Gardening
February 1st, 2009My garden boots sure don’t look like this–do yours? Probably not, because real gardeners come in from the flower bed or veggie patch covered in mud, but then again, this is just another fabulous entry at this year’s flower show. Created by Diane Festa and Barbara Slick of the Peachtree Garden Club, this entry in [...]
Quick – Make Something!
February 1st, 2009Or maybe this post should be titled, “Make Something Quick,” because that’s what your kids can do today at the show. The good folks from The Home Depot are coming at 11:30 this morning and again at 1 P.M. to lead a kids’ potting and building workshop. You do need to sign up ahead of [...]
Picture Yourself Here
January 31st, 2009Picture yourself in a passionate embrace–at the flower show! No, friends, you haven’t stumbled onto the cover of a new romance novel, although the guy in this picture does look a lot like Fabio. This is a poster on display at the flower show, and as you can see, there’s a cut-out where the woman’s [...]
Bounty for Your Garden
January 30th, 2009Whether you want to grow a single perfect blossom or learn how to raise fresh veggies and herbs for your table, the 2009 Southeastern Flower Show has something to teach you, something to show you, and something to inspire you. The beautiful image you see above is an entry from the “Passion in Bloom” interpretive [...]
Elvis…Is IN the Building
January 29th, 2009Ladies and gentleman, Elvis hasn’t left the building….he is in the building. Well, okay. There’s a poster of Elvis inside the Cobb Galleria, not the King himself. But I bet he’d be here if he could. After all, one of his biggest songs was about a “hunk-a, hunk-a burning love” He’d fit right in, because [...]
