Philadelphia Flower Show - The Rest 13
Thank you. Personally I was quite disappointed at the show I expected more
displays less vendors, a bit more organization. A bit cleaner, perhaps better prices. But oh well, we don't live in a perfect world . Thank you again, -Mariana "joevan" wrote in message ...

Trees and plants have a hard time in the cities. Trucks knock off branches when traveling and parking on the streets. Much damage is done every day. A constant renewal is needed. Also there is a lot of misunderstanding and vandalism, believe it or not. I have seen people ripping at young trees and then when questioned by the policeman that I saw coming up behind the cretin, told the officer his name, when just about then some young boys came by and said "hi Tony" or whatever the chicken man. The officer was not pleased and hauled the chicken man off in cuffs for lying to an officer. I laughed all the way down the block back to my house. |

I'm always willing to pay whatever the admission fee is, and always donate to botanical gardens through monetary donations as well as time volunteering. I just thought that some vendors had outrageous prices for the goods that they were selling! -M |

I don't pay much mind except each year I buy a bunch or two of Eucalyptus for a room or two. |
