everyone gets lost now and then

My family likes to say that I could get lost inside a paper bag.  That’s their (sort of) nice way of telling me that I’m directionally challenged, and it’s true.  I always need a map to my destination, even when I’ve been there before.

Just in case there are a few more paper bag wanderers out there, I wanted to post the show’s location.  You shouldn’t miss the gorgeous gardens, fabulous floral displays, and exciting speakers just because you don’t take the right turn.

And this is the show’s first year in its new venue, the Cobb Galleria, which is located off I-75 and I-285.  Since the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre has opened in this area, the Galleria is becoming a cultural focus point for NW Atlanta.

Look for the 2009 SE flower show in the Cobb Galler

If you need more information, or want to know about buying tickets ahead of time (and hurry: the last day for a $4 adult discount is Tuesday, Jan. 27), just click here: Southeastern Flower Show At A Glance.

I’ll see you there (because my family bought me a GPS this year.  Thanks, dear ones. )

cheers,
