Yearly trek to SF for gardening

Tomorrow I’ll be in San Francisco to attend a Horticulture Magazine day-long symposium. It’s an annual event, and the magazine invites speakers from around the world. Without fail, I learn about new plants, glean new ideas and meet lots of wonderful people at this symposium each year. It makes for a wonderful, inspirational and educational day.

And what a treat to be in a crowd of dedicated over-the-top gardeners! If the weather is nice, it’s fun to walk through the nearby botanical garden (formerly called Strybing Arboretum).

I’m sure I’ll be writing about some of those experiences in the Home & Garden section of The Bee as well as on this blog site in the days and weeks to come.

Talk to you again next week.
