i almost didn’t go this year but i’m glad i did. the weather has been so rainy and so crappy lately, it was a nice break to step into this giant building where it’s (simulated) late spring/early summer and everything’s in bloom.
i wish i had the patience to grow a bonsai tree. maybe someday.
^ my mom pointed out that these orchids look like beaker from the muppets.
^ neat repurposing of an old chicken feeder. there was a long stretch of tables filled with creative planters--a golf club bag, for instance, and a kitchen sink. i'd love to find a vintage clawfoot bathtub someday and plant things in it...actually i'd need to find two, because if i found just one i'd probably use it as a bathtub.

Looks like a great show!! I agree that it's nice to at least go somewhere and pretend that it's spring for a little while.
I liked the bonsai's that looked like little forests.
potted farm--yeah definitely, except that it IS spring and we shouldn't have to pretend! i'm so sick of the cold.
goneferal--me too, they kinda mess with your perception of scale, don't they? i imagined myself shrinking down into those little forests and looking out at the human giants passing by.
Ms. Emily - we're passing along an award to you, if you want to accept it, because we love, love, love what you're doing here. We didn't know how else to contact you. See our post: http://devouringtheseasons.blogspot.com/2011/03/wed-like-to-thank-academy.html
Ahhhh! Love the flamingos. When you mentioned using the claw tub as a planter I had the exact same thought-I want to actually USE a tub like that! Then maybe an extra for a planter. :)
devouring the seasons--that's so sweet of you, thank you!
m--hehe, definitely. maybe it could be an outdoor tub with potted flowers cascading down the sides...fulfill both uses!
Nice. I didn't make it to the show this year. I've seen those bonsai and they're always amazing.
