Count Down to the San Francisco Garden Show

One of my favorite annual events is the San Francisco Garden Show. The event was held at the Cow Palace for years, but moved to the San Mateo Event Center several years ago. This show is a gardening paradise of lavish model gardens by professional designers, seminars and lectures by experts in the local, regional and national garden field, and a market place of the latest gardening products. My Aunt Char and I try to attend every year.
This year’s theme is Life in the California Garden, which is very appropriate for the San Francisco Bay Area. The lineup of lectures and guest speakers includes chefs from the Bay Area! With today's focus on organic gardening and cooking with local produce, this should be very interesting and informative.
The Garden Show runs from March 23 – 27 this year. You can purchase tickets online, or at a participating nursery, typically at a discount if you are early enough. If you are new to the Bay Area (or a veteran), you’re in for a treat! See the website for information about current shows: https://sfgardenshow.com/.
