Flower Child Visits the 2008 Southeastern Flower Show

Wednesday, January 30, 2008. The Flower Child and fellow members of Macon's Pine Ridge Garden Club Visited the 2008 Southeastern Flower Show in Building A, World Congress Center, Atlanta, Georgia. The show is a major fund raiser for the Atlanta Botancial Gardens. The Southeastern Flower Show (SFS) has a Garden Shop within the Show. The Flower Child purchased the above container garden to adorn his Breakfast Room Table here in West Bibb County.
In addition to demonstration Gardens developed by a plethora of Atlanta Area Landscape Firms, the Show features a Standard Flower Show. It is always interesting to view the many entries.

This is just one of the fifteen demonstration gardens. This knot garden was developed by the "Alex Smith Design Landscaping" firm in Atlanta. Alex is a Macon native and many Maconites will remember his Dad, who was the owner of Second Chance which is very near the Central City Park Entrance in downtown Macon, Georgia. This garden was downlighted with blue lights and was thus difficult to photograph. To see it in person was far more enjoyable than this picture presents.
One more picture in this Blog. This was a lovely arrangement. For those interested in attending the 2008 Flower Show, please be aware that the final day is Sunday, February 3rd. For additional information on this delightful show please visit:
