Plants People Ask About
Galega x hartlandii 'Lady Wilson' On Monday, our garden was included in the HPSO Study Weekend. This is a four-day event that includes speakers, plant/art sales and garden tours. The event rotates every two years between the cities of Portland, Seattle, Victoria B.C. and Vancouver B.C. It will be 2033 before Portland hosts again. I toured the Portland gardens on Friday and Saturday and will share some photos in my next post. The weather was perfect on those days. Not so much on Monday, the day for the Vancouver, Washington gardens tour, and by late afternoon, the temperature had reached 94. However, it wasn't too bad in the first part of the day, and that's when we received the most visitors. We didn't have an exact count, but making an estimate based on our guestbook, I would say around 200 people. It was a hectic but fun day!

Wow, I'm so jealous! I would have loved that :D
ReplyDeleteWow! I could kick myself for not going to that! I even read about it on another blog, but never considered going. DUH!

ReplyDeleteI love seeing fashions throughout the ages. Very interesting how some things change and others remain almost identical. Fun!
ReplyDeleteWow! Where is it showing? Frist, TPAC? I am going to Nashville Friday and would love to see this while i'm there. In another life, I wanted to be a designer..... How I ever ended up a banker/rose gardner, i'll never know!!!!! ha.
ReplyDeleteIt was at the Frist Center but I'm sorry to tell you that Sunday the 12th was the last day. We just barely made it!
ReplyDeleteI would have gone MAD!! Fashion is NOT my forte. I have little interest in it. Don't get me wrong. I want to dress nice...and appropriately. But walking a museum of clothing. Total boredom. Glad someone enjoys it, though. Somebody has to make these designers rediculously rich.

I think this would have been interesting but I would have enjoyed seeing the rose in the last post even more. You are a good sport.
