Yesterday I attended North Creek’s Open House. This year’s theme was
‘Art in the Garden.’ Needless to say it was gorgeous! Everywhere you turned there was a beautiful piece of artwork or an amazing plant that I had to immediately own. (OH…and a surprise SCARECROW at the end of the post…can you guess who it is?)

The Independent Garden Center show left me with some wonderful memories.
- It is great to catch up with friends. IGC is a lot like a family reunion. It was great to see so many friends, and connect in-person with new contacts and bloggers.
- Having a huge, spinning banner for your booth makes it easy for the media to find a booth – and you when you get turned around! The Rescue Booth became a landmark — not a bad thing at a big trade show!
- Jamie Durie was so nice! He took pictures, listened when I chatted about landscape design, and the next APLD conference in San Francisco 2012!
He even took the time to write the website down on my card for future reference. Do I sound star stuck? I guess I am, but he was really very nice. And a huge hit with the crowd. It doen’t hurt that he is very cute. Ok enough on him…
- Great products abound. From Fairy Gardens to native plants and pottery. There was lots of garden eye candy to go around!
