Springtime Comes To Virginia In February

Like many of you I am eagerly awaiting the start of spring at my Charlottesville, Virginia home.  Every day I look at the brave buds on the daffodils by my back steps, but they still are several weeks away from popping open.  I have been Dreaming of Daffodils and reading garden catalogs, trying to decide what flowers and shrubs I would like to add to my yard this year.  But for an early taste of spring, nothing beats a trip to the Maymont Flower and Garden Show.

The annual event will be held this year from February 19-22 at he Greater Richmond Convention Center in Richmond, Virginia which is only about an hours drive from Charlottesville.  The theme for this year's Maymont Flower and Garden Show is "It's a Colorful World".  The event will be open Thursday 1pm-9pm, Friday 10am-9pm, Saturday 10am-9pm and Sunday 11 am-5pm. 

In addition to the garden displays there will be seminars covering topics such as garden design,  an interactive "backyard" for young children, and tips and hands on demos on various gardening topics.

I will share pictures of my visit to the Maymont Flower & Garden Show with you later in the week.  Until then I'm still waiting to view my first crocus; and a robin would be nice too.
