The Late Show Gardens

**S* H* <s*@saxonholt.com>**

Fellow List Mates  - By now I am sure some of you are well aware of  
The Late Show Gardens, a new garden show kicking off its first year  
Sept 18-20 here in Northern California.  "Where brilliant design  
meets sustainable practices". http://www.thelateshowgardens.org   
Publicity is already in several of the national magazines and Garden  
Design, the sponsor, is running a contest in the current issue.

I am now on the Board of this event and my first official action is  
to get garden writers to know about and hopefully come to the show,  
if not this year at least get the word out about what should be an  
important ongoing event for gardening.  Other garden shows give away  
free passes, why not The Late Show Gardens?  If you can not use the  
free passes but can write about the event, we can still give you  
passes.  Perhaps use them for a blog contest.  I know first hand from  
the photo contests we run at Gardening Gone Wild, (http:// 
www.gardeninggonewild.com), that contests build readership.

Yes, this offer is a blatant attempt to get media exposure, and those  
of you who can't be bought are just the ones we want to influence.   
It's gonna be a great show and it is about time a garden show  
pampered to the sustainability crowd.  And let’s get the term  
“sustainable” to mean something - like water conservation, reducing  
pesticides, material re-use, and wildlife habitat.

Check out the line-up of speakers and designers, support the work.   
http://www.thelateshowgardens.org  Believe me, it is a labor of love  
and not a profit motivated endeavor.  Hope to see you there - and in  
Raleigh a week later.....
