The thing I really don't get at garden shows...


...is all the tchotchkes, knickknacks, baubles and other trinkets available (and not just at the Northwest one; the Scandinavian shows and even Chelsea are equally quilty in this area...). Anyone willing to explain why we are supposed to neeed this "stuff"?

Everyone's trying to make a few centimes. You can succumb to their allure if you've detoured for a glass of wine or two during the garden show. Actually, some of the tschoktes make for amusing novelties, in small quantities. I find that my mother always adores them when I eventually pass them on.

Richard, that's so sweet of you. Maybe they look better when they don't completely overwhelm you, as they do at the shows (well, at least me)?
