Sad to say, but the 2010 Southeastern Flower Show, which has always been a premiere gardening event here in Atlanta, has been downsized--like the rest of the economy, I supposed. The show has been cut back to just three days this year, Feb. 4 - 6. Advance purchase tickets are $15, although there are discounts for seniors, twilight admission, and other categories.
I'll be curious to hear the presentation on a sensory garden that's scheduled for Saturday; it promises to tell you how to plant for touch, scent, sight, taste, and fragrance. And I'm hoping to see the one on "chickens in the garden"--sounds kinda fun, although I don't foresee adding any hens or roosters to my too-close-to-the-city spaces anytime soon!

Hi, Lynn!
I do not plan to go to the Southeastern Flower Show, but was just at the horticulture conference and trade show (Georgia Green Industry Association) in Duluth and it was wonderful.
There was optimism in the air, even though "the economy" is the new challenge after three years of drought.
Have fun at the SFS (some of my Gwinnett Master Gardener colleagues will be there also), and do blog about it.
Hi, Lya! Wish I could've made it to the Duluth show--sounds really good. I'll let you know how the SFS turns out.
Think spring!
best wishes,
Lynn
