Visiting the Cincinnati Flower Show

We took the opportunity this morning to visit the flower show. We had to go down and make sure our containers were doing OK so we timed our visit with the late opening of the show today and spend some time walking around. The kids containers are amazing, they all scored GOLD (an improvement over last year we had gold, a couple silver and even a bronze).

Here are a few pictures from today! Sophie with her window box; Cade with his window box )view of his box by Sophie's box); Emily with her succulent garden; Grant with his HOT HOT HOT salsa garden; Sophie with her little pumpkin.

I am so impressed--and jealous! Please let us know next year so we can participate in it with you! We have been doing a lot of gardening, mostly in the front yard. I can move around slowly and plant things.

Amber (the woman that coordinated the program for us) is trying to come up with even more ideas for next year (maybe expanding into wreaths and dried flowers). The kids really enjoy it so much and it is such an ego boost to hear adults comment on how great the containers are and to see the look on their faces when the find out that kids did them! I of course enjoy having all the gorgeous flowers come home with me and also getting into the flower show FREE...can you believe the tickets are $20 for one day?
