We hope to see you there!
Aw! Yowler! What a way to end the post.
ReplyDeleteStunning gardens, stunning photos....we're excited!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these pics, the kitty at the end is my favorite :) Do you have a list of public gardens (Japanese, Lan Su, etc.) and nurseries that will be on the Fling tour?
ReplyDeleteIs it worth it? I would love to know. I have taken some baby steps towards creating a blog; perhaps I should wait a year, though I wouldn't mind having an excuse to go to Portland. Have you attended? Txs. V much enjoy your blog. Sarah
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! We're gonna have so much fun...
ReplyDeleteI better get myself in gear…
ReplyDeleteSo excited! It's going to be a fantastic fling!
ReplyDeleteI just enjoyed looking at these gorgeous photos! Another blizzard here I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteThis is just the excuse I needed to finally visit Portland -- I'll be there!
ReplyDeleteYTotally, Alan…you're going to love it…I guarantee ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh no, Kathy…if it makes you feel better, it's getting pretty chilly here too…we might even get a good amount of snow this weekend…YIKES! Are you coming to the Fling, do you think???
ReplyDeleteI'm exited too, Jenni…excited and scared!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be so fun, Linda!
ReplyDeleteYes we are…and then we're going to collapse!
ReplyDeleteSarah…it's TOTALLY worth it. Last year's Fling in San Francisco was the first one I went too…and it was a blast…so much fun…really made me wish I'd been going to the other Flings in previous years. If you can swing it, I think you'll really love it!
ReplyDeleteWe do have a tentative itinerary planned, Tamara…we will release it soon…as soon as we can really confirm all the little bits and pieces…be assured, it's going to be a FULL 3 days!
ReplyDeleteWe are SO EXCITED you two are coming!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha…isn't he the sweetest, Alison…I try to work a cat photo into every post, if I can ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you all have put together…it's going to be a blast!
ReplyDeleteYES YES YES! Scott, you take such wonderful pictures. I had to stop and gaze at each one. Now you really did tease us with that autumn scene at the Japanese Garden - 'cause we are going to be there in July, you know. ;-) But based on that image alone I know I have to come back in October someday. http://www.penick.net/digging
ReplyDeleteOh, the plants are wonderful, but Boots is the cat's pajamas (you should pardon the concept). I am so excited about the Fling
ReplyDeleteI would come but it be a wee bit far from Australia! I enjoyed my little fling when giving talks in Portland a few years ago! You have a splendid garden community. Good luck with it! www.wigandia.com
ReplyDeletep.s. Wonderful photies!
ReplyDeleteI've already registered and bought my plant ticket. :) I'm coming down early to visit family before the Fling. Excited!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could. I look forward to reading everyone's blogs and their experiences with the Portland fling.
ReplyDeleteHi Scott, I'm a Portland gardener and just tried to check out the Fling on your site. I guess it is not taking any more inquiries? Is there a way I can attend?...I just learned about it today from my friend Tammy at Casa Marisposa. My blog is just one year old at: www.life-change-compost.com and you can reach me at susie@troccolo.com. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWith those pictures how can we not come? Will be my first time in Portland, and I am very excited about seeing all those PNW gardens. I hope your garden is on the tour, but if not Judy and I still want to see it!
ReplyDeleteHow I wanted to go to this but I am hoping my mother will be coming for a long overdue visit....I will have to check it out online.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could. I haven't been to Portland since 1979 and my visit there - in February - was so short, I never got to see anything. I'll have to wait till the Fling is back on the East Coast - I didn't know about the Flings until after the one in Asheville, NC and I'm still kicking myself.
ReplyDeleteI have been following the Fling posts for some time and would love to be able to go someday but it is a long way from the east coast. I will have to live it vicariously through all of you for now. :) http://landscapedesignbylee.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, as always.
ReplyDeleteWith photos like these, it's a wonder the airlines have any flights going from west to east during this period.....won't be able to make it this year, travel budget drawn to 0 with trip to England, but do hope to meet up with folks when they come to Toronto in 2015!

ReplyDelete>"Gotta love this shrub (Spirea, I'm guessing)."
ReplyDeleteThis is Sorbaria sorbifolia "Sem"
I think everything said was actually very reasonable.
ReplyDeleteHowever, what about this? suppose you composed a catchier title?
I am not suggesting your content isn't good, however what if you added a title to possibly grab people's attention? I mean "Garden Bloggers Fling - Are You Going!?!" is a
little plain. You should glance at Yahoo's home page and
see how they write news titles to get viewers to open the links.
You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people interested about what you've got
to say. Just my opinion, it would make your posts a
little bit more interesting.
