2007 San Francisco Flower & Garden Show
Welcome to the Cow Palace, where the lighting is famously ghastly, yet the bathrooms are sparkling clean.
Orchids!
If you have a weakness for summer bulbs like lilies, dahlias, callas and more… you’ll be a quivering mess when you enter the Plant Market.
More orchids!
Proven Bromeliads for Bay Area Gardens by the Bromeliad Society of San Francisco, featured super cool bromeliads and took home a Gold Medal. Congrats.

I was impressed with how well this garden re-created a grassy meadow feel. It had a natural, ever-so-slightly haphazard look that made it look like undesigned design.
Oh, and in case you didn’t notice, there’s a giant red car plopped in the middle of the garden.

Fabulous plants, but you ain’t gettin’ me in that shell chair. Ouch! Congrats on winning Best of Show!
Old World –
Would you like a martini next to a copper fountain while sitting on a tractor seat?
Or would you prefer red wine out of a jar? I’m a wine out of a jar kind of gal… Add some nice cheeses, cool music and it’s a party!
Very striking. Conceptual gardens normally bug me, but I really like this one.
