Finally Friday: The Home & Garden Show & The Nursery
This weekend is the Home & Garden Show at the James H Rainwater Conference Center. I attended last year brimming with excitement, only to be disappointed. To be fair, I lived in Lakeland, FL prior to moving to Valdosta, GA and Lakeland’s annual show puts this one to shame. I keep forgetting this is Hicksville, comparatively speaking.
We’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto.
I may still attend, depending on how long I stay at the new Nuresry I just found out about. It’s acre after acre after acre of splendid plants, shrubs and trees. It is kind of weird for some, I know, but I just love this kind of stuff.
I’m told they have an entire greenhouse full of Orchids!
I’m also hoping to find a few dogwoods and a perhaps some other lovelys. It’s my version of other’s Yard Sales or Malls. I just love things that grow!

The very best job I could ever imagine is one that would pay me to think… and the currency would be wine!



Have lots of fun in the nursery. To me it sounds like more fun than the Home and Garden Show.
I’m just staring at the tag… Finally Friday.
I’m still staring at it.
Guess I had a long week.
We have a honeysuckle bush, some bridal bushes, lilac’s and rose bushes. I’d like to get more, but I do not have a live-in-gardener! I think you should go, sounds relaxing to me!
You should go…after all…you never know….some plant could use your nurturing touch
I’m into growing things, but mostly outside. Not much into house plants. We need a pink dogwood tree this year. I’m convinced of it…
Great pics
Just found your blog. So witty! Love it! (especially the quote at the top of the page)
Thanks for the comment on our House blog. I look forward to exploring WillThink4 Wine. Actually, I think I will pour a glass now.
Oh, I love orchids!
I would so love to sit and have a glass of wine with you - I bet we would have a great conversation!!!
sounds like fun.
