2010 Flower Show Cover Page
Welcome to our 5th Annual Higgins Beach Flower Show
Summer 2009 will be remembered for its sunny days, maybe all five of them. Never the less, the flower show must go on. Many days were so gloomy that it was not worth taking a camera with you on a Higgins Beach walk, but the true gardeners showed their perseverance in many ways. No picture captures this sentiment better than “Duct Taped Tomato” on Page 3. It was late in the day and the dark, grainy photo was captured on a cell phone and lightened severely in Photoshop. We couldn't let this photo opportunity go by because it illustrates the determination of all gardeners who didn't want to miss out on summer.
Last year, we featured lupines in the mist. This year, it's poppies in the mist. This theme seems to show holding power for the future since we are fortunate to be in such a wonderful place that looks inviting even when it's grey out. And do look closely at “the truth about pollination” on page 13; it's not a clean game! Please make a cup of tea, enjoy the show and by all means, send the link to your friends.
Thank you for gardening!!!
