Well...not really The Big Top.
At the Natural Gardener, in Austin, they call it
The Revival Tent.
It's the place where speakers come, to give advice
on how to handle the challenges (and, there are many)
of gardening in our part of the world.
Saturday was the day for Pam Penick from Digging,
to present her brand new book,
Lawn Gone.
It's full of information, design renderings, and ideas for turning your
water guzzling lawn, into a drought resistant, inviting garden.
There was a good crowd.....standing room only...for Pam's informative
talk, about techniques and plants to use for the transformation.
There are plant recommendations for different regions in the book.
She displayed several different plants.
Then, there was a question and answer period.
Afterward, a line formed with people who wanted their copies signed by the author.
I was finally lucky enough to meet several local garden bloggers.
No pictures, unfortunately. Too busy talking.
But, it was good to put in-person faces, to the blogs I read so often.
It was a beautiful day.
This is a great place to visit, even if you're not shopping for plants.
Of course, who can go there without buying plants?
My time was limited. So, my shopping was limited as well.
Now, I'm off to read Lawn Gone.....again.
Congratulations, Pam.
A very good job.
Happy Gardening...
