Garden Shows

Last week I took an excursion into the City for a glimpse at the 2012 Philadelphia Flower Show. The theme this year was “Hawaii: Islands of Aloha”. The Pennsylvania Convention Center was transformed into a tropical paradise. I’ll share a few glimpses of the show as you walk in, as well as pictures of my favorite features and plants:

Clarington is pleased to be a part of the National Heirloom Expo in Sonoma, Ca this week.

Clarington Garden Tools will be exhibiting at the National Heirloom Exposition in Santa Rosa, California next week. If you will be in the area, come by to meet us and see the Clarington tools in person. The National Heirloom Exposition will be a celebration of quality gardening, farming, and food. All proceeds will go to benefit school garden and food programs

I am just back from an amazing week at the Chelsea Flower Show in London. All week I kept wondering how I got so lucky that an opportunity to spend a week in such a beautiful spot just fell in my lap. I really had no idea what to expect from the Chelsea show, but it absolutely blew me away. From the gorgeous buildings on the hospital grounds where the show is held, the canopy of trees covering the walk ways, the stands selling all kinds of goodies for the garden, and, of course, the incredible gardens! It was spectacular.
