Re: garden shows and mosquito repellant plants

I must chime in agree with Nan, the San Francisco show is beautiful  
and full of ideas, food gardening, xeriscaping, rooftop gardens and  
gardens only for the truly rich but the healthy mix makes that this a  
very stimulating show. Also there seem to be a number of  talented  
students and young designers putting in gardens at this show.
