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

Jeff,

   Yardners rather than gardners! Yep.
   I'm author of Allergy-Free Gardening, Ten Speed Press, and I do go all over talking, giving seminars and so forth. I understand what you say about getting the tie-in free PR, and I've been very lucky at that, almost always. I do enjoy the talks and would like to do more but I want to be more selective, and work the best flower and garden shows. You can have the Home shows! The Philadelphia Flower Show sounds interesting. Thanks,
Tom
