My sister and I went last year and it was SO much fun. We had never been before and were unprepared on what to expect.

So here is what we learned:

• Bring a wagon - carrying your "stuff" to the car is a pain - you park about 1/4 mile away.
  
• Bring some cold water - at least 3 bottles
  
• Bring some snacks - who wants to sit and eat when there are plants to see!!
  
• Bring extra money
  
• Wear a hat
  
• Wear sunscreen

It was a lot of fun and there is allot to see!!! Landscaping ideas, cheap plants, cheap pots and meeting a bunch of people who know more then you!!
