I went to the Boston Flower Show today with Tember. Getting there at 10 when they opened was a very smart idea. Crowds! Did some Mother's Day shopping and got some inspiration for my own yard.
Things I'd like to remember:
As a member of
http://www.masshort.org I got a free pass. And a sticker to wear around. And a pin. And a free, very pretty floral calendar. Join them!
Gorgeous seed packets with artistic packaging
http://www.seedlibrary.org Amazing olives, olive oil
http://www.lakoniagreekproducts.com Places I want to go/join:
http://heritagemuseumsandgardens.orghttp://www.towerhillbg.orgLots of fun stuff in this map
http://www.mass.gov/agr/massgrown/agritourism_farms.htm Plant something in MA on 5/15
http://www.plantsomethingma.org was giving away little cups with soil and a seed. We'll see if we can grow in the kitchen window without the cats eating it. Sugar Snap Pea!
Potential cool stuff for our home:
http://www.artisaniron.comNeed to do more research on
http://creativestonesystems.com and it's environmental impact/durability, but it may be a lower/cost and faster way to fix up our front stairs (assuming we wouldn't get ice damage down the line) and our back patio area.
Tazo tea was giving out samples and $1 off a box of tea coupons.
I'm not in the market for any different beauty products, but this
https://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/corp/ was a nice sounding company/line. It is a UK company, but sold by consultants ala Avon. The woman at the table was very nice and not sleazy slimy sales at all. If I passed a
https://www.nealsyardremedies.com store while in the UK I would probably go in and possibly buy something there.
