Stinky and Demeter's Adventures at the Hort Show!!!

[stinkyattic]

Let me just start by saying, you can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think. HA HA!!!

So Demeter and I had the BESTEST time yesterday looking at plants. I know you're online now girliegirl- post away!

The show was sponsored by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society and took place at Bayside Expo center in Boston.

There were 2 major sections; the first and most interesting was a juried display of everything from individual plants, to flower arrangements, to whole landscaping concepts. Fantastic. The other section was basically a shitload of vendors trying to sell greenhouses, dip mixes, chotchkes, and actually a lot of orchid vendors too.

Afterwards, we chilled at her place, very cool, and exactly what you would expect for such a good and serious gardener! Her plants look even BETTER in person, and Mr. Demeter is a GREAT guy who cooks in his brick oven more effortlessly than most folks use their microwaves! Mmmmmm focaccia... with FRESH herbs... *drool*....

I made it back the 2 hours to Western Mass safely despite whiteout conditions along the Blackstone valley and an inch of slush on the highway.

What a day!!!
Here's some pics!!!
