Tatyana, over at My Secret Garden, introduced me to the "garden show" world with her visit to the Northwest Flower and Garden Show. I'd never even heard of a garden show before she posted her beautiful pictures. I was so amazed by the displays she shared with her readers that I bought tickets to this weekend's show in San Francisco.
Boy Wonder and I in front of a satellite dish shaped/sized "Stretch Garden," growing vegetables and strawberries.
Succulent garden...
A living wall "house" surrounded by water...
A treehouse...
An interesting display of alligator heads in a bird bath, surrounded by succulents...
(I don't get it either)
I was very happy to see one display with chickens.
(My boys are the ones on the right not yelling "bock bock" while harassing the chickens *rolling eyes*).
A very fun and colorful garden...
Neat sculpture...

I couldn't leave without bringing something back to my garden. I love butterflies and currently have a fixation with metal sculptures, so this metal piece made from recycled oil barrels is right up my alley.
Check back on Tuesday for a few close up shots of the botanical beauties on display at the show.
Wasn't the show fun? We were there Friday and Saturday. Did you get a chance to see the 'Victory Garden' under the tent outside? There was another chicken ark out there too. I think what impressed us a lot with the tree-house exhibit was the size of the olive trees they had brought in. I think we might have paid extra to see those installed! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to go. I went with my sister on Friday. Great show this year. The Victory Garden was awesome!
ReplyDeleteCurbstone and Liisa~Ooh, I didn't know there was a separate tent for the Victory Garden until I was doing my research for this post. I'm bummed I didn't get to see it, but it gives me a reason to go back next year--I sure hope they do it again!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun and love the bangs!
ReplyDeleteThanks, sis! The verdict is still out one the bangs... You know how I am about having to do my hair everyday. I just invested in some pretty looking head bands. Thank goodness they're "in", and they have some adult looking ones now LOL.
