Hello Everyone! The 4 day annual gardening show at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington, Ontario started today. I was there this afternoon and it was my first time going to it. It was awsome and if anyone's in the area I would recommend going. It was great fun!!!

Sorry bout that, I would have liked to been able to post some..... :(

S'alright I just love looking at what's NOT available here. :'( ;)
Glad you enjoyed your outing. :) Did you see any newly released plants? Or new garden decorations, etc?
Happens to be the weekend my grandtwins have their 4th birthday. Too bad. I'm ready for an escape.
Enjoy it, those who can get there.

Hey Steve, is that garden show running through til the weekend?
I know they have some sort of a plant sale at the RBG aboretum on May 6th from 9am until 12 noon. You know where I'll be that day ;)
The show was in the Main building(which also houses the Mediterranean garden), so we didn't get around to see the other gardens. There was lots of garden decorations most of them at good prices too. Also wasn't really many live plants, just lots of tubers and bulbs like lilys, iris, four o'clocks, peonies ect. There was this one stall right by the enterance though and they were selling all their gallon shrubs for 5$!!! I don't really have alot of room for shrubs so I just got a forsythia. I hope to get out to the gardens again this summer and I'll be sure to take a camera this time!!!

Steve,
I'd love to go but (there's always a but, sigh) I have to go to Quebec and I'll be leaving in hour, returning later Sunday. Family stuff, ya know.
I did get to go to Canada Blooms and the garden show at the International Center so it's all good.
