This is the second year the Collin County Master Gardeners have put together a garden show and it is better than any garden show IMO. One thing I am looking forward to seeing this year is the perennial trial gardens and hearing some of the garden presentations.
The Garden Show is this weekend and held at Myers Park in McKinney. Admission is only 2 cans of food or $2 all benefitting the Allen Food Pantry. See the link for more information.

Today is the last day of The Garden Show. I went yesterday and had a good time. Lots more vendors this year than last. Plus, it is not so big where it takes all day to see all the booths. While you're there, be sure to walk over (or take the bus) to the perennial trial gardens. It is worth the walk. They have gardening presentations going on at The Landing and at the Collin County Farm Museum - both within walking distance of the main building.

It was on the schedule they handed out when you went into the main building. The other buildings is where they had the master gardeners (and Neil Sperry) giving various garden talks. Did you get to walk over to the perennial trial gardens? They are located across the bridge/pond on the north side of the property.
