Today we started at 7:30am with the Garden Show Tweet Up! I’m not entirely sure how one signs up for the Tweet Up or what the criteria was for coming but there was quite a diverse group of people to chat with. You might be wondering what a Tweet Up is and what the purpose is (I kind of did the first time round too). Pretty much it is an opportunity for folks that use Twitter to have access to the display gardens before the rest of the crowds get there. This gives them great space to take pictures and talk to garden creators about their gardens. It is a great time to connect with an intentionally more social media savvy group. We tried our best to “work the room” and I do think we were successful as by the time the show started @susan_PWD was getting a great response.
Other notable fun we had today… Susan was interviewed by Garden TV, met many, many great gardeners, garden bloggers, and speakers. Tomorrow the grand kids are coming by to check out the kid area. I’ll let you in on a little secret… I previewed the kid space today and am sad to report it isn’t quite what I expected. I am afraid our 5 and 2 1/2 year old may be too young to appreciate it but we will go and let you know how it goes.
