Happy Holiday Train Show at NYBG<\/h2>\n

\"NYBG<\/a>On a recent trip (my first!) to New York City, I was able to check many boxes off my gardening bucket checklist including visiting The Highline<\/a>, Wave Hill<\/a> and The New York Botanical Garden<\/a>.
\nLucky for me, myself and GWA<\/a> colleagues Kirk Brown<\/a> and Denise Schreiber<\/a> were given a behind\u00a0the scenes tour on opening weekend of the beloved NYC seasonal tradition:\u00a0the NYBG Holiday Train Show.<\/a>
\nThe exhibit is open to the public from November 21 \u2013 January 18, 2016. It boasts G-scale locomotives on almost a half-mile track through replicas of more than 150 New York landmarks that are handcrafted out of natural materials such as bark, twigs, stems, fruits, seeds, and pine cones. More than 25 large-scale trains and trolleys cross rustic bridges, overhead trestles, tunnels and creeks.

A Snowfall of Pink<\/h2>\n

\"Marley's<\/a>We\u2019ve had an unbelievably beautiful fall with above average temps in NE Ohio. I\u2019m definitely not looking forward to the snow but it\u2019s bound to hit sooner or later. But I\u2019ll be daydreaming of pink and the snowfall of color that Marleys Pink Japanese Snowbell will provide.
\nThis small tree, featured in The American Gardener<\/em> magazine<\/a> by the American Horticultural Society, works well as a container tree or in the landscape. Its mass of blooms will add a cotton\u00a0candy\u00a0like scent to herald\u00a0summer. Look for this new introduction in your local independent garden center this spring.

Christmas Pickle<\/h2>\n

I was honored to be one of 40 authors invited to the Willoughby-Eastlake Public Library Author Expo<\/a> in October.
\n\"Expo\"
\nI was seated next to Tony Marini who wrote Pennie the Christmas Pickle<\/a><\/em>. This children\u2019s book is a take on a German tradition where the first person to find the pickle in the Christmas tree receives a treat or good luck.
\nThe book also speaks to growing pickles and includes a refrigerator pickle recipe as well as one for bar cookies. Why not use this as a teaching moment for #kidgardening? Grow pickles, and then have them for Santa!
\n\"Gift<\/a>
\nFollow Tony and Pennie on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>. Consider selling the book and\/or doing an author signing at your local IGC or holiday event!\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n
