Need an early dose of spring? Craving color and fragrance with a large dollop of gardening inspiration? I suggest a ride next week to Providence, Rhode Island to visit the “Gardening with Heart” Flower Show. Beginning Thursday, Feb. 24th, this four-day show offers winter-weary folks, like me, 28 gardens to admire and more. And the gardens are inspired by a movie, song or novel. How novel! And for less than $20 a ticket, this looks like it will be worth the price of admission. I’m heading there next Friday. I’ll write about the highlights when I return.
