Anybody going to the Wisconsin Garden Expo this weekend in Madison? http://www.wigardenexpo.com/

I usually try to go up on the Friday (which is today) but not going to get to this year. I have elderly in-laws that are not doing real well right now and so....

But, I love to go up there for several reasons:

1. Hooking up with Tracey aka Magnolialover is of course primary
2. Wisconsin Peony Society usually has a booth and peony roots for sale
3. Tons of really cool garden stuff.

If anyone goes, let me know what I've missed and know that I envy you. Hurray!

Looks like a neat gardening event! Too far for me though!
Many gardening shows here are NOT about gardening, but more about "Life Style Trends" etc.
And others are more about commercial landscaping.
I no longer go to gardening shows.

Missed you this year @Ticker. Volunteered at the Wisconsin Peony Society booth, always so much fun to get together with people who love peonies like I do. At least I know I am not boring them Whistling There was even a new place offering many lilium varieties, mostly Dutch varieties, of course, and all imported. But still it was nice to see a place there dedicated to lilies.

I knew you'd have a lot of fun, @magnolialover. Things here are just to complicated with elderly family for me to get much anywhere. Maybe next year things will have settled down. Smiling
