The Northwest Flower and Garden show is officially done!  We had such a good show this year and are pleased with the overall response.  Today we wanted to share with you some of the highlights of our week.

First up, our garden won a gold medal!  You can’t really top that…

Next up, we got to meet so many great speakers and was interviewed on camera by GardenTV.tvJulie Moir Messervy came by for a visit and some wonderful comments.  Being one of the judges we were excited to hear her comments about our garden first hand.  We were also able to meet Marianne Binetti, Willi Galloway, Robin Haglund, Teresa O’Connor and Debra Prinzing.  All wonderful women of the horticultural world.

And we say good bye to our dear friend Cyle Eldred.  We owe a great deal to Cyle as he was able to talk me into doing the show in the first place.  With his guidance I was able to hone in on what I felt my goals should be in creating a show garden.  Alas, the show must go on and we will miss working with Cyle through the craziness that is the Northwest Flower and Garden Show.  We wish him the best as he pursues the new adventures that await him.

Now that we are done with the show I have some time to reflect on what we accomplished there.  Stay tuned for my thoughts, musings, tips for attending a garden show, and perhaps some news about our exciting year to come.
