10 of 10 Ways to Get Through Winter

10. Attend a Garden Show

Nothing takes me out of winter and into spring than a trip to Canada Blooms. This year’s show features more than 24 gardens, an expanded marketplace and special speakers, including Jeff Lowenfels from Alaska who’s talking about organic gardening and Cornell University’ Dr. Robert Raguso with a lecture on the relationship of scent and pollinators.
