There will be delicious food available from the regular fare to vegetables and the more exotic. I have enjoyed delicacies such as ostrich burgers and last year's ostrich chili that would win an award. The seminars are always packed and this year should be no different. Seminars include Flower Arranging, Growing Daylilies, Perennials, Sauces for Vegetables, How to Steal Native Plants, Heirloom Vegetables and Flowers, Grilling Vegetables, New Plants for the Millennium, Easy Herbs and Backyard Conservation. A tropical garden display is new this year.
Children can see how bananas bloom and are grown on large stalks.
You will see the new cat's whiskers, ixora, jatropha, scuttleria, candlestick and many more. You'll feel like you're in Costa Rica. The blooming Mississippi trial garden displays the new Diva periwinkles, AngelMist angelonias, Purple Bouquet dianthus, Tukana verbena, Honey Bee Blue Agastache and more. The cut-flower zinnia trials can be seen up close. Several hundred chrysanthemums grown in George County have been planted, giving the whole garden a look of riotous color.
