My sister and I went a couple years back 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, and cheap pots plus meeting a bunch of people who know more then you!
