Here are two composite pictures from the Home and Garden Show. I went on Sunday afternoon, and it became very crowded. Cramped my photography, but I did take lots of photos- so I probably can make a couple more composites. I think the strength of the show, for gardeners, was in the hardscaping: the paths, fountains, and walls. There are a lot of exhibitors in both the garden and home parts of the show which were in two separate buildings connected by a canopied hallway.
My teens made it through without too much complaint- there were plenty of freebie candies on the Home side to keep them happy while I stayed mainly in the garden part taking photos and checking out the plant store exhibits. One large seed offering was available in the far corner of the exhibit hall. As I said, I think I will try to return this weekend.
I do have a few criticisms of the show, as well as some things which I liked, but wanted to return to see if I just didn’t take advantage of what was offered in the lectures, etc. I hope you like the pictures, and I’ll give a few of the commentaries in a coming post.

Well I missed the whole pagoda thing somehow at the garden show :) It was hard taking pictures with so many people roaming around.You did a great job of it.
I am really hoping to make it down this weekend. I love what you shared here and I want to thank you for posting this. Are those begonia’s on the bottom first photo? There were so many different varieties when I went to the Ohio Flower show back in the fall down in Columbus. I will have to dig those photos out and share on my blog.
Thanks again for the fabulous info. It would be cool to bump into you this weekend!
Not as good as you, Lonadawn. The crowds were massive the first weekend and I never could get a decent pic of the Moon gate.
Bren, Yes, those were the masses of begonias planted around the Mary Poppins garden. PLEASE! Do find your pictures and share- I’d love t see those!
