We had classes on creating rain gardens, raised bed gardening, underused and unusual trees and shrubs, growing and using herbs, beginning vegetable gardening, herb butters and breads, heirloom tomatoes, coleus, designing a perennial garden, perennials for a tropical look, and body smart gardening. Our keynote speaker was Carol Reese on the "Wilder Side of Gardening". We had 6 vendors who were there the whole day. A MG couple provided 30 dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies and the extension provided coffee and tea, so morning snack was free! Admission included a box lunch. I ran the MG used garden book, magazine, herb and houseplant sale (we didn't get as many books or plants as we would have liked, but sold what we had). Don't have the final figures or the tallies of the satisfaction surveys yet, but I think it was a success! (Even DH enjoyed himself.)

Clear today with that wind, but our MG planned
"Gardener's Palette" went off without a hitch
Cathy, what did your MG event include? Winds at 40 mph today but I80 west opened this afternoon. The evening news had aerial photos of miles of full 
lanes of bumper to bumper traffic and entry ramps laned with semis.
