The Pennsylvania Garden Show York is pretty good, it's a shame they did not attract as many vendors as Harrisburg, but then again they are competing with the opening of Philly.
The hardscape was much the same as others but these guys are, in the words of one exhibitor, "passionate" about plantscape as well. The plant material is of good quality, used appropriately and creatively. Water features were popular as usual with the trend for pondless displays found in a few exhibits.
Penn State, York Extension office had a informative and visually pleasing display on urban and container gardening, with plenty of Master Gardeners on hand for Q&A.
The demonstration area was well used by DIYers, Ticket prices were reasonable and parking is free. Lighting was better than most shows and Moon Light Times gives the visitor an idea of the garden at night.
Kudos to Rick Jacobus the event's promoter for adding a splash of color to the York area, a great kickoff to spring.
