I couldn't find a list of speakers on the site, I wonder if they have a schedule yet. That's usually how I decide when or if to go, for all the shows. I didn't have the heart to watch the video, sorry!

Nice to 'see' you again, Carl. Should we assume that you've retired from the show's marketing committee? I did watch the video and it's lackluster. Maybe they'll include time-lapse growth films of plants and flowers, or garden development? But it looks like drama and romance films are the focus. Might be interesting to see what clever artists create to support that theme. I'm glad I went to the show a few years ago and I'm happy that this old tradition is still happening, despite it's evolution toward formal floral design. To maintain an event since its 1829 birth, in this fast-paced country, is a great achievement. I'm going to spend some tourist cash in Pennsylvania, but it will be at Longwood Gardens.

(you're VT weather stick is waiting for you)

Thanks for the info, Carl. I also guess that more information about speakers should be out soon... not many days until the opening.

Thanks for always giving a heads-up on this. I'm wondering how much of the show will be devoted to "the movies"? I think it would be really neat to see the creativity, but not as the entire show. I still like much of the regular old stuff one would normally see at flowers shows of the past. I do like a little bit of glitz and whimsy sprinkled on top though just for a bit of unexpected fun!
