TwitterCanada Blooms Day 3
By Lorraine • Mar 17th, 2009 • Category: Dig in, Spring
Is it a bed of heucheras or fallen leaves on a forest floor?
On day three, everything comes together — somehow. My day started out helping plant daffodils and lay mulch in the Bienenstock Natural Playground where kids can have fun learning about soil. There are stations for making birdseed balls, a tree-painting area and a log full of worms (yes, those yucky, icky but wonderful creatures that live in the soil). Kids will love it — parents, chill. Let ‘em have fun!
Next up was primping the huge planters that line the main aisles. My friend Sara and I drove the golf cart from planter to planter, scrubbing them clean and making them glisten. While we worked, the judges arrives promptly at 1 p.m. to evaluate the exhibits in the Floral Hall and each of the feature gardens.
More later when I’m back from the gala!
