My aunt and I made our annual trek to the San Francisco
Garden Show at the San Mateo Event Center. This year the focus was on earth-friendly
gardening practices.
This year we spent more time looking at the landscape exhibits, the Market Place, and Bonsai than attending the seminars. Some years we do just the opposite. We both like looking for beautiful plants, good ideas, and creative solutions. I purchased three organic tomato plants to kick off spring planting!
We both enjoy the cooking exhibitions, which emphasize healthy,
organic ingredients. The demonstrations are always well attended, but the chefs
and their crews manage to serve a sample to everyone. This year we tasted a
salad of asparagus and beets with a light vinaigrette, and toast with a spreadable
cheese from Bellwether Farms in Sonoma, which was like goat-cheese, “without the goatiness.”
Yum.
