More MODA

Here's a shot of Bailey Hale, one of three partners in MODA Botanica. You can see one of the allees in the exhibit. Check out the water bottles, which are headed for recycling after the show. Perhaps this is a sign that more emphasis is being placed on recycling and reusing materials used in the show. Many are tossed at week's end. Here's a silver lining: I've never done this, but I've heard from many people that if you go to the show on the last day, which is next Sunday, lots of plants get given away. Now that's what I call reusing. And not a bad way to economically feed your plant-purchasing habit. 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.”
