The Flower Show exhibit

Back to the Big House tomorrow morning, to work in a real garden again.  Because it's been so warm and sunny for the past couple of weeks, things are literally exploding in the Stepchild Garden, so I can't wait to see the thousands of daffodils at the Big House. Here are some last photos of the process of building an exhibit for the Southeastern Flower Show.  My friends worked like dogs on assembling this, but I think it served its purpose perfectly.

This one could be called, "No, that chair is a tree!  The plant stands are lights!  Chuck, please just keep drawing and trust me on this!"

Once we were unloaded, things started to slowly come together..... 

The door and windows of the fake house added another whole dimension..... 

 This is Patti's "What was he thinking?" look..........

A sample of the educational messages scattered throughout the "garden," next to the beehive from the Metro Atlanta Beekeepers Association. 

The very cool "Night Orb" from The Outdoor Lights. 

Another of those little signs...... 

One of the educational "windows," outlining beneficial insects.... 

The fountain (to attract birds) from the fabulously-talented Carlos Montano.
