It's that time of year again! Illinois State Florists' Association Spring Conference, just a couple of miles from Canada Garden. I had a great time helping yesterday. Loved hanging out with Michelle, her mom Gail, Frankie, Adam. Yes, it was lots of work--stuffing gift bags, breaking down boxes, sweeping, lifting, bending. (Gail and I decided it was great training for all the gardening we'll soon be doing.) The flowers are luscious--every box that we opened was filled with gorgeous stems--hellebores, clematis, hanging helaconia, RoSeS, orchids, gerbs, lysemachia, amaranthus. . . And over the next few days, all those stems will be used to make fabulous art. Watch for more pictures from this flower-filled weekend. Can you tell I'm a happy girl?? :)
