Pretty in pink dogwood and new leaf green, invitations to the Blue Grass Trust Antiques & Garden Show are a reminder that winter is almost over, and spring is on the horizon. 

None too soon! 

The show at Keeneland opens March 13, and continues on the 14th and 15th.  Check the website for detailed information about events, social gatherings, reservations and admission fees.  Featured speakers include internationally acclaimed author Judith Miller, whose antiques guides have become annual collectibles in themselves; and landscape architect Mary Palmer Dargan, whose re-creations of 18th and 19th century gardens in Charleston, South Carolina, you might have already experienced.  Complimentary speakers, like Mark Henkle who knows his heirloom tomatoes and David Swayer’s orchid repotting workshop, offer ideas you can put to use right away.   There is always a great group of exhibitors with antiques, green goods, and home & garden accessories to explore.  Proceeds benefit the Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservatiion.
