Trade Secrets Event

Show, Sale & Garden Tours
May 16-17, Sharon, CT

The 9th Trade Secrets show is Saturday -- featuring rare plants, garden antiques, and garden tours from 10AM-3PM.
Last year's event drew more than 1200 people from around the country.

Held at Lion Rock Farm, it's an event that' often attended by Martha Stewart.  More than 50 vendors of garden plants and ornament, and Sunday tours to gardens of renowned designers Bunny Williams, Michael Trapp, Judith Murphy & Nancy McCabe.

And -- an additional plus -- proceeds benefit Women's Support Services, a non-profit that assists victims of domestic violence in CT, MA, and NY.

Forget Twitter - Try Pecha Kucha

The next NY Pecha Kucha night is on Monday, March 23 -- and among the participants is Dickson Despommier of the Vertical Farm Project, pictured here.

What is Pecha Kucha?  The phrase means "the sound of conversation," and in this case a dozen or so creative professionals will present 20 slides for 20 seconds each on whatever topic they like.

The March 23 participants, aside from Despommier, include environmentalists, multimedia artist DJ Spooky, design blogger Tina Roth Eisenberg, and many others.

Check it out.  Doors open 6:30PM at Le Poisson Rouge, live music by the Sam Barsh Band, and speakers at 8:30. These are quarterly events that SHOULD be taking place all over the country, with lots more landscape architects and designers.

My original post on Vertical Farm is here.
