Hi Evelyn,

Hope all's well up there.  I'm sure your market is heating up. 

I'd love to attend Gardens Galore XVIII.  I missed the "Going Native" garden tour down here two weekends ago.  These are terrific events because gardeners love to talk about their gardens, and attendees love to see new plants, compare gardening notes, and get ideas.  Do you enjoy gardening?

These garden events help us to get some great ideas for our own gardens after seeing what can be done with an outdoor space. Thanks for sharing.

Lloyd:  I love gardening.  I just don't have enough time to devote to maintaining my garden.  I have one big problem in my garden that that is 2 huge redwood trees which shad the entire backyard, so I don't have a place to grown a garden with beautiful flowers.  Darn.

Doug:  That is why I go, and the gardens are lovely.

Bill and Liz:  Yes, this tour in particular is very well attended.

Susanna: Everyone wants to look at gorgeous gardens and to dream about transforming their own garden.
