Getting out in the garden sounds pretty good right about now. Socializing with friends out there sounds even better.
Soon, both can happen. In the meantime, Plantasia – the annual garden and landscape show – is underway today through Sunday at the Fairgrounds Event Center and Artisan Hall in Hamburg.
This year’s theme: A Party in the Garden.
This is the place to see blooming flowers; shrubs; water features; fire pits; grills; outdoor furniture, structures and materials; patios; and garden lighting and decor – some of it party-ready to reflect the show’s theme. Garden displays have been created by local nursery and landscape professionals, and there is a lineup of hourly seminars by local experts that are free with admission. Topics include “Successful Do-It-Yourself Pruning,” “Things Gardeners Should Know but Don’t” and “Fairy Gardens.” You can check out seminar times and topics on the website, www.plantasiany.com for lists of educational seminars, exhibitors, vendors, events, general admission discount coupon, directions and the Aurora Waldorf School’s daily schedule of events for the children’s garden. Parking is free.
Also this weekend: The Greater Niagara Region Home and Garden Show, now in its fourth year, takes place today through Sunday at the Scotiabank Convention Centre across the border in Niagara Falls, Ont. See www.niagarahomeandgardenshow.ca
