Berksmont News: Serving Berks County:  Spring Comes to Bucks County

Posted using ShareThis
I don't recall exactly how I found out about the Bucks County Garden and Home Show.  Last year was my first time to visit the show.  I found it enthralling.  This was a place to make a lot of gardening connections.  I met people from other garden clubs and met a few master gardeners as well.  I felt as if I made some new friends and hope to meet up with some of these people again.  I met a wonderful lady named Dot Bunn who is an artist.  She creates gorgeous oil paintings that one can walk into.  You can visit her web site at http://www.dotbunn.com/. One of her works was done in the garden of Derek Fell, another person I admire.  Derek is a garden writer and photographer.  I'll write more about him another time.  To read the article published in The Community Connection about this event click on the small print above.

This year's Philadelphia Flower Show was full of some amazing floral creations.  Click on the link above to read the article published in The Community Connection.  This was the first year I went across the street to the Farmer's Market to eat lunch.  They have a huge variety of food choices plus homemade baked goods and fresh produce.  You need extra shopping bags to take home all the things you could purchase between the Flower Show and the Farmer's Market!
