Portland Flower Show 2015


FLOWER POWER



Deadheading before show...'Slow down plants. You're flowering too fast!'


Has it REALLY been so long since I posted?.....goodness. I've been keeping busy... My husband and my mother and I installed a display garden and vendor booth at the Portland (Maine) Flower Show this past weekend. I started the plants for the show display from seed about this time last year so this project has been a while in the making. 

It was terrific to reconnect with my landscaping peeps and talk to some really fabulous new people. All your kind comments were devoured and stored away for a rainy day. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We won four awards and were over the moon with delight. It's nice to have some success.....

This is what it looked like.

Harpoon Brewery used our stump table for a photo shoot! We almost used a bottle of beer instead of the wine.



 

My hang tags...Tried to have everything branded.


 
Foxgrape Fritillaria!!
After the show.... Flowers everywhere in the house. New poly on the hoop house today and out they go.

Wow....a lot of work, but very satisfying.... Next year?
