If Laura hadn’t reminded me I would have almost forgot to grab my ticket to the SF Flower & Garden Show early… having to bum a ticket at the door like I did last year. I’m usually one of those dorks that loves to get tickets early, print out directions early, schedule things… and so on. If I don’t control plan ahead of time, I get itchy. So luckily, I’m ahead of the game this year. (Thanks Laura!!!!!!!)
I absolutely love the flower and garden show (who doesn’t? It’s flowers and garden stuff!)…. but I do take a little issue with pictures of people gardening – when they are not dirty! It’s like, seriously? Who are you fooling. I mean it’s one thing to accidentally fall asleep in a mushroom patch wearing jewels, but it is quite another to be at a potting bench not covered in soil. Plus – that child should probably be whining about not being able to go inside and watch Barney or something, rather than perfectly posing… right? (Do kids still watch Barney?)
Beyond that – the SF Flower & Garden is fantastic and I’m going (Carla, you’re coming with… and buying me a corn dog or something.) Afterwards, be sure to tune back in about my findings….
For more info about how you can get your sweet buns to the show, go to….
I see you are located in Half Moon Bay. Beautiful seaside town. I was there several years ago visiting Nurerymen’s Exchange.
Megan and I are cannot wait for it! Yeah SF F&G Show!
Wish I could go but it’s a bit far away. I am however going to hit the philadelphia flower show in march. Can’t wait. I enjoyed reading your blog. That clock is really cool, not convenience wise but awesome to look at. Love the photo of you and the mushroom.
Hey, when you’re done with your flower show, would you please send it to Albuquerque? We could really use it here! Thanks so much!
dirty girl, thanks for visiting snowy gardenfool. i’m jetting out to SF this week to visit the in-laws, but will sadly miss the flower show. watch out for those waves at half moon bay! they sound scary… in the past i’ve loved visiting there and seeing the tide pools.
Oh I am so ridiculously jealous. I’ll be there in SF like two weeks after the show, and was just down there two weeks ago. But I am missing all the excitement!!
I expect loads of photos, you lucky thing you.
I used to go back in the days of Fort Mason and the Cow Palace, but haven’t been in ten years now. Next year for sure!!
Damn… well, I’ll show some good pic.’s and links fro designers and companies I liked there. Hopefully you can make it next year and live vicariously through this blog!
I love garden shows. We just went to the Northwest Flower and Garden show last week. I love your comment about people in garden pictures being so clean. I’m usually in the worst mismatched clothes with leaves in my hair.
I hope you’ll share pictures of the SF garden show.
I hardly ever comment on blogs, but your post encouraged me to applaud your efforts. Thanks for writing this, I will surely favorite your blog and come back occasionally. Cheers.
Oooh, thanks for the reminder. I know what you mean about the lack of dirt. Whenever I ride my bike from a jobsite, people stare at my mulch-covered knees and probably assume I’m either homeless or one of those crazy Berkeley types.
I lived in Berk for almost two years… I know yer kind!
