Monday at the show

Gotta hand it to these flower show folks. They always look at the bright side, even on a snowy Monday.

I'm down at the convention center, about to head onto the show floor. I'm looking out the window of the media tent and it looks like a pillow fight out there ... white feathers flying every which way. And it's cold. I saw a couple of busloads of show visitors unloading, but so far it's pretty quiet. Jane Pepper, president of the hort society, said she was grateful the bad weather's coming at the beginning of the week and not the end. Not a bad way to look at things.

Headed out to the show now ... first stop: the Phillies statue! it's making people smile. Ciao.

About Virginia A. Smith
Ginny Smith, a Philadelphia native, worked as a reporter at newspapers in New York, Connecticut and Ohio – with six short months at the end of the Bulletin tossed in – before returning to Philadelphia in 1985 to join the Inquirer. Her favorite beats here have included Center City, roving around Pennsylvania (and getting paid for it!) and alternative medicine. She’s also been City Editor and Pennsylvania Editor. Ginny has been happily writing – and learning - about gardening fulltime since 2006. She’s won two silver medals of achievement from the national Garden Writers Association and in 2011, Bartram’s Garden honored her with its Green Exemplar award for her stories about “the region’s deeply rooted horticultural history, cultural attractions and bountiful gardens.”
