See what the dog days of summer look like.
Friday, July 18th, I will be at the opening ceremonies of the world famous Lavender Festival in Sequim. The festival goes on all week-end with lots of fun, food, shopping, farm visits and more!
Friday night, after my live T.V. show, I am flying up to the home of the midnight sun, Alaska. I will be doing my show live from Palmer, home of the Alaska State Fair. I will be at the Alaska Garden & Art Festival (viewed best in Internet Explorer). After my radio show, I will be giving a talk (just in case you are up that way).
I will be in the studio with Charles Price and Glenn Withey of the Dunn Gardens. It is a great day to ask all of your questions concering perennials.
On Sunday, July 27th, I am giving a tour of my garden as a benefit for the NHS Endowment for the Elisabeth C. Miller Library. For $85, you get a tour with me and a champagne/wine brunch. There might be a couple of spots left. More information is at Northwest Hort. Note: It is only open to NHS members (but you could quickly join if you want to attend).
If you missed the recycling event at Molbaks, don't throw your pots out. Clean them of soil, leaves adn debris, pile them up and hold them for the recycling event which will take place at Magnolia Garden Center on the week-end of August 16 and 17. Note that they only take one gallon and larger.
If you know of other pot recycling events, please let me know and I will post them. My contact information is on my contact page.
Some of the special discounts for the event are over but you can always get great information from the Garden Hotline at 206-633-0224 or email help@gardenhotline.org .
Get great ideas for your own garden, support a good cause and have a lot of fun. The Elisabeth C. Miller Library lists all the garden tours coming up and there are still tons of them. I will be at the Bainbridge in Bloom garden tour on Sunday, June 13th. My job is to help people shop so bring your wallet!
Think they're over? No way. There are still plenty which you can find at the Elisabeth C. Miller Library.
I recently interviewed Giselle Blythe from the Volunteer Park Conservatory. We talked about the Amorphophallus titanum (aka Waldo) that was due to bloom soon. I'm not sure if it has bloomed yet, but you could consider a visit to the convervatory. You migth want to call them first before you go. Here I am with the stinky gem the last time it bloomed.
Many of you have heard the ads for the Millionair Club on the radio and have asked me for their website. Find more information at the Millionair Club.
