Garden Show at Brucemore - date?

19 years ago

Can anyone tell me when the garden show is at Brucemore in Cedar Rapids? I'm supposed to go with my sister-in-law and I can't remember the date.

Thanks

Is this what you're looking for? Sounds interesting. I've never been to the garden things there and want to go sometime.

I'm thinking spring too, Irina.... Fred already gave me great advice about timing too. My background is in marketing and I'm always trying to approach any event or task from various viewpoints. Mother's Day weekend is already taken - was thinking that this would be a great time to promote these plants as gifts and to encourage other's to explore our meetings and this hobby. Easter - same marketing advantage. I personally think a violet as an Easter gift would be very nice. There is a huge plant sale here locally that one of the garden clubs does and they have traffice of 700 people + in a one day. I need to find out when that is and do it about 2 weeks after that (I'm thinking on the spot here, out loud) so that we could promote our event at their event. I think I just found my date :) Dora

I cannot compare, Carol, but can tell you that the Hartford show over the 20+ years I've attended, now has many more 'other-than-gardening' types of vendors and the few garden displays, although nicely landscaped, do not seem as robust or extensive as they once were. I see people leaving with new mops, earrings, vibrating pillows, but few bulbs or flowers. A GW member commented to me a few years ago at the Philadelphia show that that show's focus seemingly had turned toward a more stylization of gardening with more emphasis on floral arrangements and art with flowers versus down in the dirt gardening and growing, if you will. I think it is fair to say the same is true, on a much smaller scale, of the Hartford show. We go to the Hartford show because it is close and it's a nice way to spend few hours on a cold day and to have lunch out with the girls. Personally, I wouldn't drive from Boston to attend if Providence is easier for you. I'm guessing the shows are quite similar.

We tried to see everything when we were there last year so I assume others do the same. Don't worry about being by the bathrooms - everybody makes their way that direction at some point during the day. You may actually be in one of the busiest spots! I don't know much about gourds, but I know they're really COOL! Looking forward to talking to you!

Don't forget to talk to the people at the EIPS booth(Eastern Iowa Pond Society) If you don't have a pond and want one. Or if you have one and want to meet other ponders, These are the people to get involved with. Here's their web sight: http://www.eips.org/

Oh I didn't see the EIPS on the list! GREAT! I'm getting pretty antsy about the show myself. Trouble is, there's a dog show at kirkwood too!! DARN IT! I might have to sneak out for a bit to see my favorite dog groups. :)
