Here is a view of the inside. The garden is surrounded by a small box hedge. Gravel is used as a mulch. It tends to reflect sunlight and keep the soil cooler which also helps on cutting down water loss. The plant choices include pinks and purples and the plentiful use of silver foliaged plants.
Preparations go on all night.
We arrived at 7.00am and the crews were just finishing the wonderful Egyptian entrance. For those of you who would like to visit at less crowded times, the PHS has a special early program and tour. I was delighted to meet Jane Pepper who is the President of the Pennsylvania Horticulture Society and show manager. It is through her hard work and brilliant foresight that the show has become a world event. I was particularly impressed by the display on Healthier gardening.
