Is any holiday more commercialized than this ?! We choose to honor the day to love and cherish our many friends, family and market patrons that are always there to support us, so we (HEART) ya !
We will have some great plants at market this weekend that will make great Valentines Day presents for those near and dear.....Aunt Mary is bringing us a new supply of her popular Cedar Birdhouses, as we had sold out, so we are looking forward to seeing her new batch of Cedar inspiration.
Our markets this weekend:
Saturday Morning Market, downtown St. Pete
Sunday Morning Market, Tarpon Springs
We are recurperating from a great funfilled last weekend at the GardenFest at Vero Beach. Lots of work but also lots of fun, we had great weather and a great turnout from the Vero Beach crowd. This was our first big Plant show of the 2011 season, and we got too see many of our fellow nursery people and we are all excited about the upcoming season and the great shows to come. If you haven't checked it out yet, in our previous posts, we list all the big Plant shows we will be at, so check it out, and hope to see you there.
Here are some pics from Vero Beach GardenFest of our booth, our terrific helpers and some wonderful fellow vendor neighbors!
One view of the front of our booth...the "gray" in the middle is gorgeous Festuca Grass, surrounded by Hot Peppers, Gramma's & Sangria Crotons
This view shows the very aromatic Spanish Lavender surrounded by Ice Cream Banana, Yellow Gallardia, Purple Fire Spike and New Zealand Tea Plant
Dennis Cathcart, of Tropiflora Nursery of Sarasota, in his booth at the end of the show..they had a fantastic display as usual, and sold their hearts out. Dennis's nursery is the one that sold mega plants to Singapore Botanical Gardens a few years back. Dennis is a big name in the Bromeliad world internationally ! He is also the one that kindly invites close fellow nurserymen, like us, to set up at his nursery twice a year for botanical shows..he is one of the nicest people we know !
All in all, a great show, and we can't wait to hit the next big one....Ocala Master Gardeners Show March 12 & 13 !
