"CNY Blooms 2008"
Members of the Central New York State Nursery & Landscape Association
are tending to the final details of CNY Blooms 2008 - Thursday,
February 28th through Sunday, March 2nd. Building on the huge success of last year's
inaugural CNY Blooms event, this year's show will feature bigger gardens, more flowers, more purveyors of environmentally-sensitive
green goods and services, and a strong lineup of educational presentations!
Speaking of educational presentations,
I'll start things off at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 1st by
shedding some light on Facts and Fallacies in Lawns, Landscapes, & Gardens. During
this talk, for example, I'll explain which
weeds are most invasive in Central New
York lawns, or, maybe there aren't any invasive lawn weeds? I think you'll have to get to the show early to
find out just what is a fact and what's a fallacy in your lawn, landscape and garden!
Then, at 2:10 p.m. on Sunday, March 2nd, I'll encourage you look at
autumn leaves,
shrub prunings, grass clippings and other materials
as a resource rather than "debris" to be hauled away in a talk
entitled There's No Such Thing as Yard "Waste."
So, make plans now to attend CNY Blooms 2008
to see how the talented members of the Central New York State
Nursery & Landscape Association can take an empty convention center
hall, above right, and turn it into spring in about 48 hours, at
left!
