The Friday before St. Patty’s Day, my friend Trace and I drove to Chicago to visit my dad and my grade-school friends, and to attend the Chicago Flower and Garden Show. I posted about the Tablescapes that we saw on my other blog for Alabama Gardener. If you’re interested, here’s a link.
The gardens and floral displays were fantastic. I took tons of pictures, and it’s been hard to choose my favorites.
I love the roof!
There was a room full of floral displays, and this one was my favorite, even though Trace has a point when he says that it looks like a funeral spray.
Ginkgo biloba ‘Weeping Wonder’ is a prostrate, female witches broom. Very cool!

I saved my favorite picture from the Chicago Flower and Garden Show for last.
Trace and I signed up for the Garden Writers meeting, so that we could get into the show two hours before it opened to the public, but then we ditched all the Garden Writer talks so we could finish seeing everything by 12:30 because that’s when Dan Heims, President of Terra Nova Nurseries, was speaking. I really wanted to see Dan, especially since we are planning some amazing garden shenanigans. – More on that later.
Dan’s presentation on Sexy Succulents was a pleasure-talk with lots of ooohhs and ahhhhs. After, we all went for pizza and to see the green river. They dye the Chicago River green on the Saturday before St. Patrick’s Day, and although I grew up in a Chicago suburb, I had never seen it. When I say it’s green, I mean it’s really green.

It was a great weekend. Even the car ride home was fun. We came back on St. Patty’s Day and I spent 9 hours listening to Irish music on the XM radio and then responding to Trace’s attempts at an Irish accent with either a hearty, “Good on ya lad” or laughter.
