Wish I could come. I've got some beautiful Whirlaway's and Tiffany Lynn's. Also a few good looking Sunstrucks. I'll be glad when there is a show within driving distance. It's been 3 yrs since I've exhibited.

<... haven been to the bcc yet do they have a good parking facility.> Rich: It is definitely not so easy and convenient as Bayside is. At least in my opinion. Last time we went to an event there, we arrived at 11 a.m. All parking lots adjacent/under, etc., were full. Even the valet parking staff were not accepting any more cars. We were directed by police officers to drive to a parking lot several blocks away across from the Design Center, where we were told we would be picked up by a trolley and brought back to the BCC. We got lost! Finally found a parking spot on the 4th floor of the garage. When we got down to the trolley stop on the first level, there were about 200 people waiting. We finally made it to the BCC about 12:30 p.m. Public transportation may be the best way. Someone said that there are shuttles from South Station? Haven't tried that yet.

A very successful show, and a great set of visitors! Thanks to agardenstateofmind and the crew at Deep Cut!

I encourage everybody to go to the show to support our fellow gardeners. I met Dianenj, whose just as warm and kind in person as she comes through in her posts. Both she and Nicknj were "personing" the Jersey Shore Rose Society table. There were a number of interesting competitions (flower arranging, table setting, wreaths, miniatures, etc.), not too much to see as far as large displays by garden centers/landscapers, but plenty of informative tables set up around the edges of the vendors, and some great vendors. I spent the majority of my money at Greg's Antiques on garden structures made of metal. I bought an arbor, two lovely huge trellises with birds/leaves for only $69 each. Very, very reasonable prices-they're from Ohio. A winery offering tastings there as well . mmm! Leslie
