Movie classics 2012 theme

LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!

The 10th Annual New Jersey Flower and Garden Show goes for the glamour with a Hollywood-inspired theme of “Movie Classics.”

Last year, Broadway musicals were the cue for garden designers who created stunning display gardens based on such hits as “Wicked,” “Big River” and “West Side Story.”  This time, who knows what they’ll do? A Zen garden pegged to “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?” Or maybe an Italianate display of fountains and clipped evergreens celebrating a “Roman Holiday?”

The theme of “Movie Magic” continues in the Garden Club of New Jersey’s spectacular standard flower show, where floral designers of all ages compete for blue ribbons with creative arrangements.  The competition includes everything from enormous centerpieces to miniature bouquets.

Be there when the show rolls out the red carpet Feb. 16-19 at the New Jersey Convention Center in Edison.

 

New Jersey Flower Show Scheduled for Feb. 16 – 19, 2012

The 2012 NJ Flower Show Theme is Movie Classics.

Kerry Mendez Perennially Yours

Flower and Garden Show this February.  Kerry brings a vast knowledge of perennial plants and gardening.  Kerry’s seminar days and times will be posted in early December 2010.

Gardens on Broadway

What did “The Secret Garden” look like? What grew in the jungles of “South Pacific” or around the lair of “The Lion King?” For that matter, what would “The Addams Family” plant behind their spooky old Victorian? Designers turn to the Great White Way for inspiration at the  NJ Flower & Garden show and the Maymont Flower & Garden Show in Richmond, Virginia , where the theme will be “Gardens on Broadway.”

We’re really excited about this year’s theme and can’t wait to see what the talented landscape designers come up with for our show in New Jersey & Virginia.

FALL HOME MAINTENANCE TO-DO LIST

With the Richmond Fall Home Show starting this weekend, I thought I would take the next few days to share with you my fall home maintenance to-do list.  One of the first things I make sure to do is check my furnace to make sure it is working properly.  I learned this lesson a few years back when I waited for the first cold day to turn on the furnace.   Instead of enjoying my warm, cozy home, I spent my time pleading with heating and air specialists to squeeze me into their already over-booked specials.  So please learn from my mistake – check your furnace early and if you have any problems, call a specialist before the weather drops.
