This will be pretty much a photo post, one of three coming up now, dedicated to the
International Garden Show (IGS) in Hamburg, Germany that I went to this past weekend!
I've been looking forward to the IGS basically all year now, looking forward to landscaped beds, gardens, and who knows what else! Although everything was not necessarily as I had expected (or even a bit random), there were some really nice exhibits (like the Hall of Flowers) and some great beds, and all of the plants on the grounds were well taken care of, looked healthy, and were blooming.
I decided to split up my photos so as not to overwhelm you - I've chosen my favorites and divided them up into 3 categories: beds, close-ups, and patterns. Gotta love those colors!
Hope you enjoy my pics and impressions from the show!
