2012 Nashville Lawn and Garden Show
There are big display gardens with great plants, pretty flower arrangements, lots of vendors selling cool gardening stuff, and free lectures. I will likely be sipping coffee and nursing my hangover Sunday morning as I listen to Don Shadow talk about What’s Happening in the Plant World. Click on this link to the Nashville Lawn & Garden Show to learn more, and to help me suck up because I need to upgrade the two free tickets they sent to weekend passes.
Bellingrath Gardens and Home
Another super fun thing is that I’m working on a travel article for Alabama Gardener magazine so I’m planning a trip to the Mobile Botanical Gardens and Bellingrath Gardens and Home. I’ve heard Bellingrath is awesome, so I’m jazzed. And Mobile has something similar to the Nashville Lawn & Garden Show; March 21-24 is their Festival of Flowers.

There is so much stuff coming up this spring that you can’t possibly do it all. I know because I put together the calendar of events for Alabama Gardener magazine. It’s on their website here.

The April 4-7 Birmingham Botanical Garden spring plant sale is always enjoyable, and I come home with the Acadia stuffed full of fun finds. If I can get them in the ground fast enough, I’ll hit the Huntsville Botanical Garden’s sale two weeks later.
Helleborus ‘Red Sapphire’
The day my Plant Delights order arrives will be exciting. I spent a couple days studying the 1760 plants on their website, and then I picked my favorite 32. This great Helleborus ‘Red Sapphire’ is one of them. It’s from Terra Nova Nurseries, and owner Dan will always have a special place in my heart because he was the first to call me a Plant Ho.
I also ordered a Farfugium giganteum. I’ve thought about it before, but after I saw it in Fred Spicer’s garden, I had to have it. If you want to see more pictures of Fred’s garden, pick up the February issue of Alabama Gardener Magazine. The garden is amazing, and the pictures are great, but I don’t think the article was my best work.
And I’m looking forward to the surprises when my 2013 plant ho plants start arriving.

Another year- another adventure!! I think I’m ready – it takes about a year for the hangover memory to fade and the other “memories” to seem fabulous.
Another item of interest in Nashville- March 31st at Cheekwood is the Native Plant Sale 10am until plants are gone. Call Sarah Lowe at 615-353-2159 for more info.
