In the old days of the newspaper business - you remember the newspaper business, right? - we would have referred to The Washington Post as OPN. Opposition newspaper. That way, we would never have to speak the dreaded name outloud or in messages.

But I can't help but call attention to Adrian Higgins' take on the Philadelphia Flower Show. He gets things so right.

 

 

Higgins talks about how the show has survived when others have failed and its efforts to reach out to a younger audience with edgy display gardens like this one designed by MODA Botanicals.

Check it out.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
