For those that don't already know, the Goochland and Powhatan Master Gardeners put on an annual Spring Fest of garden related classes and a fantastic plant sale at the Goochland campus of J.Sargeant Reynolds Community College. The day is divided into three sessions, each about an hour and a half long with several class choices during each session. I learned how to make a hypertufa container, how to select the right tomato for my needs and all about hydrangeas. I always learn something new and meet some great people. Of course I also purchased quite a few plants; some from private vendors and many more from the students in the college's Ag program. All in all it was a gorgeous day and I had lots of fun.
This big old cherry tree was in full bloom and every time a breeze came along, the pink petals rained down. It was beautiful.
I'll be making a series of 'Tufa troughs like the one below for growing root crop along our front walk where the half barrels are now. Can't wait to play!
Of course I went Hosta crazy. This is a really nice vendor --- PlantSmart It was a good thing the event has a holding area for all of our purchases while we are in class!
