Garden Center TV

I’m on my way to Chicago to cover the Independent Garden Center Show.  The “IGC Show” will run from Monday August 19 until Thursday, August 21 and is being touted as the “World’s Largest Garden Center Show,” so I have BIG expectations!

 

I’m  packing comfortable shoes, my video camera and taking along an assistant so that I can make my way through the massive exhibit hall where over 500 garden product manufacturers hope to catch the eye of retailers and media representatives. 

As a garden spokesperson for television and online, I’m looking to find the most unique, clever, practical and beautiful garden products to share with you and use in my landscape designs.

I’m ready to be swept off my muddy feet with:

Out of this world statuary!

 

Fountains with personality….

 

Outdoor furniture that looks like furniture!

 

Sexy water garden plants and decor!

 

Garden accessories I can place in the garden with pride!

 

New, personalized garden tools that suit my lack of dexterity!

 

New, shiny (and not so shiny) garden pottery that will be the envy of all….

 

And anything out of the ordinary, strange and captivating like this “Flying Bamboo” from Monrovia Growers!

Plus, soil, seeds, mulches, fertilizers, water management systems and everything else!

Have any garden products you want me to scope out for you? Let me know.
