Vermont Flower Show

The 2013 Vermont Flower Show was held March 1-3 at the Champlain Valley Expo. This was the 16th year that Green Works, the Vermont Nursery & Landscape Association has sponsored this event. This year’s theme was “The Road Not Taken”, an adaptation of the Robert Frost poem. Workshops and presentations were ongoing for the three days plus the 75+ exhibitors were also showcasing their goods and services. A sample of topics covered included Small Space Gardening, Pollinator Friendly Landscaping, Minimizing Insect Damage in Fruit and Vegetable Gardens, and Tree Pruning Basics. Yankee Farm Credit Loan Officer Suzanne Petig of the St. Albans office attended and took the above picture of one of the displays.
