Lethbridge Home and Garden Show

It's that time of year again! The Lethbridge Home and Garden Show is now in full swing and it has been a busy week! Last weekend, Clayton and his crew began construction of the Earthlings exhibit. Below you can see a few pictures taken during the process. You'll see a photo of Clay and part of the concrete waterfall that he designed and constructed himself. Yup, we have a running waterfall at the exhibit, because we're cool like that. Hahaha! Getting the exhibit built is a lot of work, but we enjoy the experience every year, as it gives us an opportunity to share our ideas with the community.

The next few photos are of the finished product. We are very happy with the end result. Anyone who wants to can stop by and say hi! The show ends on Saturday at 5:00, and runs noon to 9:00pm today and tomorrow.  Check out the Exhibition Park website for more info on the Home and Garden Show. We hope to see you there!

 

Also, as an added plus, you can check out the video on the side bar ----> 

Global News did a special on the HGS, and I was fortunate enough to be interviewed!

Happy Gardening!

Waiting for Spring.....

In the Winter I am always looking forward to spring, but this winter has been a test to my gardening soul. I cannot believe how much snow we have had and that it doesn’t show any sign of letting up.  Oh well… I am hoping the old adage is true “In like a lion out like a lamb”!  In February it helps me to rethink my garden; what I did right, what I did wrong, and what I want to try for fun this year.  I have got some great ideas for my annual planters that I am going to experiment with and I am trying out some new seeds one called...

                                              “Gremlins for the Garden”

It's for the kids because these gourds looked awesome!  I had to order “Orange smoothie pumpkins” again because they truly are the absolute perfect pumpkin.  I am really hoping that spring will be warmer and that my cucumbers will do better than they did last year.  Here’s Hoping!

Happy gardening!

P.S. Here's a picture of some of the planters at my house last year….
