The Independent Garden Center Show

Last Tuesday I got to attend the 2009 IGC Trade Show at Navy Pier. Mr.Brown Thumb and I hung out together visiting the booths, meeting lots of new folks and renewing acquaintances with familiar faces including a few 2009 Spring Fling sponsors.

Although not open to the public, we were able to attend with press passes by virtue of being garden bloggers. The show was a delight to attend, and I hope to make it again next year. Although these slide shows sacrifice photo quality, they're a good way to share a lot of photos without using too much photo memory on Blogger.

Thanks to Mr.Brown Thumb for his help getting a press pass! You can check out his perspectives on the show at two of his blogs, Mr.Brown Thumb, and Chicago Garden.
