[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 189713, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. We had a lovely day today. I wanted to go to the gardening show at Sydney's Olympic Park so we got going as early as we could. It was a grey day with occasional rain, but most of tis was indoors anyway. husband, difficult child 3 & I were the only ones, so we were able to load my mobility scooter into the back of the van. I was very glad of it - that place is HUGE, plus it was a long way from the car park. [url]http://www.abcgardeningexpo.com.au/sydney08.php[/url] I love those places - so much to see, some wonderful new products (new pot styles, new plants) and some really good old ones (heritage seeds, for example). At times I needed to get out and walk, so husband or difficult child 3 took the scooter for me and kept it moving along beside. The stuff that I really was interested in was the herbs and vegetables area, and the more tropical plants. They had set up a sample of some famous Aussie vegetable beds (from Hobart Botanical Gardens) which we've tried to set up at home. The bloke who put this together was also there - he has just left the TV show that was behind all this, because he IS older than Methuselah, after all!
