Last-Minute Gift Idea for Gardeners: Early-Bird Ticket to the SF Flower & Garden Show!

If you're looking for an easy-to-purchase, totally affordable gift for a Bay Area gardener, may I suggest getting him or her a ticket to the 2015 San Francisco Flower & Garden Show, running March 18 to March 22. You can get a one-day pass to the show for the early-bird price of $17.50 (regular price: $22.00). Tickets are available online or at many Bay Area nurseries.

I'm even more excited than usual about the SF Flower & Garden Show next year because I'll be speaking at the show. On March 19th I'll be doing a garden-to-table seminar about citrus with my friend, chef and culinary instructor Jennifer Altman. We'll talk about growing citrus in your home garden, preserving the fruit, and using preserved citrus in recipes. Buy your tickets now and come see us!

Wrapping Your Valentine in Nature

Whatever you're giving your valentine this year, wouldn't it seem more special if it came wrapped like this? 

These lovely wraps come from designer Justina Blakeney, who has taken the idea of compostable gift wrapping one step further.

Maybe it's time to put the quick-and-easy gift bags away and harvest your wrapping paper and ribbon from the garden.
