I've been to previous teleconference series and they are casual, packed with informative material from the University of Illinois educators and are generally followed by a Q&A session.

The Geneseo Workshop will be fun for those interested in the topics and who enjoy the in-person presentations and demonstrations. I've enjoyed these in the past. They typically bring along some plants and garden items to see up close.

The bus trip is such an easy way to experience the Chicago Flower Show. If you are reading this and live in another area, call your extension office or a local garden club to see if they are providing a bus tour. The cost is kept minimal to simply provide a service for area gardeners.

I've gone with family and friends for several years and it's a great day of visiting, looking at new ideas and plants, enjoying Chicago and then put your feet up on the way home with none of the driving worries.
