That is the coolest thing ever. Here we have single suburb plant sales, usually involving area master gardeners and other "garden club" members, but nothing citywide. If you're going, will you take pictures so I can drool?
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a similar kind of event here. It's a great way to share your plants and pick up new ones.
ReplyDeleteMy greedy little soul is totally envious! This sounds fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHi BSG, Kate and Muum.
ReplyDeleteI finally signed up to register today and I'm hoping I'll be able to attend if anything for the possibility of getting a blog entry out of it. :)
