The Great Big Cleveland Home and Garden Show
I woke up on this Bloom Day in February to discover that my heater had shut off overnight in the greenhouse. Outside, the temperature was a brisk 2°F, and the greenhouse measured just 25°F when I got up at 7 am. Fortunately, there’s no major damage to report so far. Unfortunately, the new basil starters that were struggling have received their final frost. I’ve learned not to start new basil seeds until later in the year, as they thrive in the warmth of the sun. This experience has been quite enlightening. I’ve realized that I should consider a more reliable thermometer with an alarm to alert me when the temperature enters the ‘danger’ zone in the greenhouse. Everything was normal when I went to bed, with the temperature at 45°F. (more about freezing temperatures in the greenhouse on my blog) In today’s post, I’m excited to showcase some photos from my inaugural visit to the Great Big Cleveland Home and Garden Show. My niece and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the exhibits. It was one of the first events I captured with my Nikon camera. The lighting in these indoor shows can be incredibly bright. Bloom Day from The Great Big Cleveland Home & Garden Show I am going to share these wonderful orchids that were on display in Cleveland yesterday from the Master Gardeners Club out of Cuyahoga County / Ohio. The lighting was difficult to work with at the show to take images of the blooms. I don’t think my images capture their true beauty due to the indoor lighting. The show was magnificently lite for the landscape design. Highlights From The Cleveland Home And Garden Show It was a fun show with a mix of home and garden. I will say however that grills and outside landscape must be the hot topic in this area. The video above is from images taken at the Cleveland Big Home and Garden Show 2010 seed display at the show Unique Garden Art Tips When Attending Cleveland Home and Garden Show If you are attending an event similar to the one described in this post, make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes as these events are typically held in concrete event halls. It’s a good idea to bring along some snacks and spare batteries for your camera. We were too engrossed in exploring the various home and garden items on display that we didn’t have time for lunch. Luckily, we discovered a delightful Mexican restaurant nearby where we could enjoy a meal after the event. Let’s Connect Have you been to a Home and Garden Show?
