Here they are…pics from the Master Gardener’s Spring Tour!

The tour was a huge success with an estimated 2500 people attending! Here are some pics from Danny and Renu’s garden…I have to say, their garden was definitely the best (although I’m slightly bias)!

The line for ticket sales!

My 2008 California Pack Trials Pics!

Okay, so I’m finally back!!! After waking up at 5am on Friday to head down to Somis to set up our French Patisserie themed display for the Suntory Sun Parasol Mandevillas at Pack Trials at Jackson and Perkins and then waking up early again on Saturday to be ready to grab breakfast and be there in time for the first guests of the day, I was sooo happy to be back home Saturday afternoon! I’m sure you’re wondering “What were we doing there?” – Well, we’re proud to announce that we are now one of three licensees for all Suntory products in North America and the only location on the west coast!

Aaron and I luckily did not have to stay the entire week, Dad however stayed for the week long event   Then after much rest on Sunday, I was able to take Monday off and go snowboarding!!! It was so much fun and nice to take a break, but after eating it hard and rolling 3 times (per Emily’s account) I don’t think I’ll be able to wear a dress any time soon! – Check out a quick pic of my bruised and swollen knees at the bottom…my butt is bruised too – sorry no pics of that though!

Ouch!!!
