Here I want to tell you that the N. and S. Pavilions DO NOT actually have any beds. They are just open rooms with a few plants around the edges and in the corners. When they have these big Shows, they create the beds by hand by edging them with the heavy, granite paver stones and then fill the beds with tons of mulch. All the plants on display are still in their pots! They just bury the pots in the mulch and cover up any tell-tale edges peeping through. A lot of this work is done by devoted volunteers. Not me! I cannot kneel or squat. The price I pay for 2 knee replacements. |
