Calgary Garden Coach: Garden Show plans?

Are you going to the garden show this year? I will be volunteering at the Community Gardens booth on Sunday morning (plan to come say hello!), and for the first time ever, I'm also considering taking a workshop. In the past I either didn't want to spend the money and/or to take valuable week-end time away from my young kids, but this year I'm thinking "Meh! Why not splurge a little? And the kids are a little older now, they can take me being a little selfish for one week-end, can't they?"

If you've followed my blog for a while you know that I still have major work to do in several areas of my yard, and spring is always a very busy, energetic time in the perennial garden. While I'd love to spend time preparing a beautiful container or two, I just never get around to it. So I'm thinking of doing either the "Perennial Planter" or "Fabulous Container Garden" workshop this year, although they all look great. How about you?
