Re: garden shows and mosquito repellant plants

**l*@juno.com**

Mosquitoes. Lemon and so-called citronella scented geraniums are
frequently sold as mosquito-repellents, but I don't believe that either.

Garden Shows. Springfest, at the Sussex County Fairgrounds in Augusta, NJ
is our local show that has been picking up steam during the past few
years. Click here http://www.springfestgardenshow.com/ for information.
It is not a large show, but some years (not every year) have been pretty
good. Usually there are some vendors with orchids, unusual topiaries,
floral art, house plants and plant-related decor, etc. Depends what
you're looking for. David Wright and Barbara Abita (landscapers) are
involved with organizing it. You can reach them at 973-948-2090.
