On my mind.

Flower Shows. Symposiums. Garden Club meetings. I miss the wonderful interactions those venues provided with others who were as passionate about gardening as me.

While COVID threw a wrench in my in-person speaking engagements I was able to adapt and actually found that, as much as I missed seeing fellow gardeners, I liked the Zoom format. Especially on late winter nights – no need to drive on slippery roads, plus I get into my pjs sooners! But now, as things are slowly opening, I am very excited to start doing presentations and workshops (like the succulent pumpkins pictured at the top) in person. 

 I will be at the Berkshire Botanical Garden on November 20th presenting “Winter Wow: Beautiful Containers for the Colder Months”.  I am also beyond thrilled to have been asked to present at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle in February. It is the largest garden show west of Philadelphia and the second largest show in the country. It has been on my bucket list for years and I am so excited to be able to cross it off. I will be giving two talks: the first about creating jaw-dropping container gardens and the second focused on designing beautiful containers using only foliage. I will also be participating in “Container Wars” looking to create some jaw-dropping containers while my competition does the same. It should be fun! 

Since I have some friends in the area, and will be celebrating a big birthday, it could be a Sleepless in Seattle kind of trip!
