Re: garden shows and mosquito repellant plants


Yes, the Philadelphia Flower Show is always great and as usual the Garden 
Writers Association is holding a regional meeting there on Monday, March 3.

On Wednesday, March 5 at 2 pm I am demonstrating  "Easy Ways to Make 
Troughs" in the show lecture hall. My talk and handout feature my original 
recipe for papercrete, which is a variant of hypertufa. I use recycled paper 
shreds instead of peat moss. I also teach this in workshops at Longwood 
Gardens. There's a recipe on my website.

Lemongrass is another plant used in potions to repel mosquitoes.

With best wishes,
Betty
