Recently my family and I visited the SF Conservatory of Flowers and got a chance to see the Chomp! exhibit. If you ever find yourself in the area, I highly recommend stopping by and immersing yourself in the beauty that is the SF Conservatory of Flowers. Below is a slide show featuring a few shots from around the conservatory, as well as a few highlight shots from the exhibit. Chomp! runs from 11 Apr 2014 – 19 Oct 2014 so be sure and visit soon! (And in case you didn’t already know – plants in the exhibit are from none other than California Carnivores… sweet!)
You may find this hard to believe – but this past weekend was my first time visiting Flora Grubb Gardens! (Better late than never, right?) Man, was I missing out! So glad that I finally got to see this impressive and phenomenal oasis of botanical goodness. Dahlia and I were truly inspired by the flora-radness. Many fellow gardeners – both carnie-heads and non-carnie-heads have told me about Jared Crawford’s amazing artistry with the Sarracenia sink display (photos below slideshow), and I figured it was time to finally go and check it out – along with the rest of Flora Grubb’s sheer magnificence! There’s so much to talk about that I could go on for days and days about it, but I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. Enjoy!
A few photos of Jared’s handiwork with the sink are below! I am looking forward to many more visits. 🙂 Thanks again FGG for the botanical inspiration!
