The 2010 Northwest Flower and Garden Show is in full swing. And, this is not the year to miss the show. Truly, it is one of the best I’ve seen in years!
Here are a few locations where you can drop by this weekend to meet up with me while you’re at the show. If you enjoy reading gardenhelp.org, drop by to meet up with me at the show to enjoy a couple of helpful gardening seminars geared for adults and kids too!

Garden Mentor Teaches Kids about Worm Bins
As we worry about building a better environment for the future, we should start teaching our children ways they can contribute. In this lively hands-on session for kids and parents, we’ll look at the “naked-eye” creatures that come to life in worm bins! How do worms eat our garbage and what comes out when they’re done munching on fruit and veggie scraps, coffee grounds and egg shells. Kids will love this, and parents will too!
