Philadelphia Flower Show: getting there

I am getting ready to write a travel story about the august Philadelphia Flower Show that opens March 6, and I am wondering: Are you going? And how are you getting there?

Does your group or your business have a bus tour going? Are you driving with friends? Are you staying overnight? Are you planning to dine out at the show? If so, where?

I'd love to hear about your plans and your recommendations.

Me? I hope to go Saturday, March 5 for the media preview. And I will be live Tweeting and Facebooking from the show -- with pictures!

The theme this year is perfect: "Springtime in Paris."

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.
