Springfest Flower and Garden Show -- Review

From March 2009 Recipes, Reviews and Other Photos


I wish I could say otherwise, but it was a disappointment. Because it was an expensive show, John and I thought about it as an opportunity to help the local economy. We did receive a couple of free compact fluorescent bulbs for our trouble, though.

I also wish I'd known that 99% of the exhibits weren't actual exhibits, but vendor displays. They were lovely displays, but vendor displays nonetheless.

The one actual display was a wall of award-winning orchids. Some of them were quite stunning. However, on any given day during the cold months, I can see equally, if not more beautiful (and fragrant in some cases) orchids at Mom's and Dave's house.

Lesson learned.

The best part was the drive home when we stumbled on a really good deal on some Polish pottery. I'll be showcasing it here soon.
