RE: [GWL]: Which Are the Best Flower & Garden Show?

Tom,
Where do you live and are you willing to travel the country?  What is your
book about.  Flower shows attract gardeners while home shows attract
yardeners; most home shows attract more people than do flower shows in the
same area; the exception being the Philadelphia Flower Show which is the
biggest in the world and offers ten days of speakers; often with repeats -
your book is sold outside the lecture hall by staff.  Home Shows offer a
chance to give three and four speeches a day for 3 to 7 days.  The key to
both venues is getting additional publicity while you are in a city; that
burden is on you.  If you know what you are doing you can get some newspaper
coverage (daily and weekly), possible appearance on radio gardening talk
show and sometimes a tv spot on the news.  I've worked home shows in over 23
markets; they can be very helpful in getting the word out about a book and
sell a good number at the same time.

-----I'd love to have some feedback on this. Just which are the best flower
and garden shows? I've been doing quite a bit of public speaking since my
book came out and have found that Home and Garden Shows can be utterly
miserable, but real flower/garden shows can be wonderful.
  I'd appreciate feedback from everbody on this. Which flower and garden
shows did you like best?? And why?  Thanks!
Tom
