Hi guys,
I'm headed to the flower show. Even wangled an invite to the preview friday night,
so get to see it without the teeming masses. If you are a hort society member, i
highly recommend going early on a weekday during members-only hours. The weekend
crowds are just too much. Went to the RI show a few weeks ago. Smaller but
excellent. A wonderful Japanese garden by that great plantsman/nurseryman from New
Bedford whose name is escaping me at the moment.
