Is the rainy/damp weather putting a damper on your spring gardening activities. With damp drizzling weather blanketing most of Southern Ontario this weekend is an ideal time to make the best of it. Take a short trip to Peterborough to visit the"For the Love of Gardening Show" put on by "The Peterborough Horticultural Society, the Peterborough and Area Master Gardeners, and the Northumberland Master Gardeners". Now is the time to be thinking about curb appeal if you are contemplating the sale of your home.
For the Love of Gardening Show.
Show hours, location and admission
Friday, April 11 (6 - 9 p.m.),
Saturday, April 12 (10 a.m. - 6 p.m.),
Sunday, April 13 (10 a.m. - 4 p.m.)

What's that you say!! You have other plans for the weekend and you can not make the show, or just wish you could do it in your own time. You would prefer to save a little bit of the environment especially with the high cost of gasoline. Well then perhaps a virtual show might just be in order. Take your time and visit some of the exhibitors' web sites.
