Spring Flower Show

 There's nothing that lifts winter-weary spirits like a visit to a flower show! This year the New England Flower Show in Boston  won't be happening, so the RI show has been quite busy. There are some lovely gardens, including a real charmer from the Newport Preservation Society. The designer, Jim Donahue, has created a formal garden using lettuces, swiss chard, radishes and other edibles in places of traditional bedding plants. Even the urns are filled with magnificent munchables! The tints, tones and shades of green let the viewer experience the delights of texture and pattern  without distraction. There is even a cage of fuzzy chicks to engage the kids! 
 If you'd like to see some pictures of the show head over to www.WhatGrowsOnRI.com to see Sue Kortes' views of the show. Today is the last day so come visit me at the RI Begonia Society booth and see the plants that were featured on 'The Plant Pro' with Marion Gold.
