Won't You Join Us For Garden Bloggers Fling In Toronto!

 Westwind Farm Studio, Portland Fling Summer 2014
I probably don't have to tell you that Garden Bloggers Fling is an annual event for garden bloggers that is held in different cities around the US or that we've been garden-touring and socializing every year since 2008 when 30+ garden bloggers got together in Austin, TX! Since that first Garden Blogger Fling get together, we've been to Chicago, Buffalo, Seattle, Asheville, San Francisco, Portland and this June 5, 6 & 7, 2015 we're heading north to Toronto, Canada and I hope you can join us.

 I promise you'll have a grand time. If you've never attended there's SO much to look forward to~Meeting gardeners from all over the US, Canada and Europe; eating good local foods, visiting the host city and of course there are the gardens!

I can't say enough about the gardens. They're always spectacular, often unique, incredibly inspiring and each and every one of them has a certain je ne sais quoi!
Asheville, Summer 2012

  7. Gail, I am really looking forward to meeting up with you again in Toronto! The Portland Fling was a major uplifting experience for me. I only knew a couple of people from Austin and not well at all. Everyone I met was super and I felt so at home. See you in Canada!

  11. Oh, how I wish I could go! But the timing is wrong for me this year. Thanks for all the lovely photos and reminders of the Flings I have attended--Chicago, Asheville, and Portland. Will miss seeing all of the wonderful friends I've met at past Flings!
