		<description><![CDATA[Dear Carol, I know that you host a monthly Bloom Day event there at May Dreams Gardens, where gardeners share their monthly in-bloom reports.  I usually don&#8217;t participate because of 1) inattention, 2) lack of blooms 3) fear of competition 4) nothing particularly interesting to say and 5) general busy-ness. But after suffering through nearly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m particularly obsessed with things being perfectly trimmed and even in my garden&#8230; I always tell people that a little bit of wildness breathes life into a greenspace. This philosophy also happens to make it easier to justify the times when I don&#8217;t exactly get everything done to perfection in the garden. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After viewing the exuberant displays of flowers, plants, containers and hardscaping&#8230; &#8230;the visitors to the Philadelphia Flower Show were practically foaming at the mouth in the vendor area. I have never seen so many women carrying around bunches of pussy willow in my whole life. They looked like some sort of bizarre religious procession with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the advantages of signing up for the early morning tour of the Philadelphia Flower Show&#8230; &#8230;aside from being able to see the displays without having to jostle, stand on tippy toe and elbow my way through the hoards—was that the guide was a seasoned flower show volunteer. Our guide was a charming older [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are flower arrangements and then there are flower arrangements. Personally, I detest the overly-colorful and tightly packed arrangements that I associate with almost anything you can order through FTD. I have finally trained my husband to get a bunch of fresh flowers from the florist&#8211;or even the grocer&#8211;that I can arrange at home in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just returned from the Philadelphia Flower Show. Holy moly. Let me tell you, this is no ordinary home and garden show. Nay, nay. This is a spectacle! It costs the fine folks of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society about $6.5 million to put on the show, although the estimated total expenditure by the show as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For me, there&#8217;s nothing like seeing the real thing to learn about plants. That&#8217;s one of the reasons I make visiting botanical gardens, parks and flower shows a high priority when it comes to travel and my free time. Aside from the enjoyment of being outdoors or seeing all the wonderful new combinations, I can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I truly hate crowds. I finish my holiday gift shopping early not because I’m organized but because I can’t stand the stores when the masses arrive. You couldn’t tie me up and drag me to a parade. Go to a party? Is it a small one? I make one truly significant exception to battling the [...]]]></description>
