As I was driving and Pat was navigating through the maze of
bridges and streets in Pittsburgh, we saw a sign that told me we were living
right. The Pittsburgh Home and Garden Show was at the convention center. It was
a block away from the hotel. That answered the question about what we were
going to do on Saturday. The show is a
great reason to visit Pittsburgh, and as I am a garden show addict, I don’t
need much of a push to add it on next year’s list.
We made sure to visit the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Garden. We were in luck. There was something like a bazillion orchids in bloom.
Add a train garden and water features and it was sensory overload.
Their Chihuly is very cool.

I love a good garden show too. What a good thing you found that one was on -- so often I find out about them a week after they close! Love all those orchids, just beautiful!
Garden shows are a great inspiration. You can't always use their ideas in the home garden but they get you thinking. I head to the Chicago one next weekend with a fashion theme!

wow! looks like an awesome show!
Wow Jim what a terrific show and the Conservatory has me speechless. Now that is a train garden. The orchids in that room are just gorgeous. I am glad you found some great places to visit and what luck in that the garden show was being held.
