Garden Inspiration from the Flower Show

A recent trip to the Philadelphia Flower Show (this year's theme was England) was what I needed to get some new ideas and inspiration for my own garden... plus a healthy dose of Sunflowers, succulents, and umbrellas oh my!

    Isn't that the biggest one in the world? I think I would be overwhelmed, but looks like you found some great inspiration.

    Douglas, it was HUGE! But it's the third year I've gone so I knew the layout and it wasn't totally overwhelming. This year they made sure to have lots of space between displays which really helped, and it felt very manageable. I also totally ignore all the extra displays and activities spread out in the convention center so it felt very do-able. :)
