    Wonder what to get your favorite gardener for Christmas?

    How about tickets to the Cincinnati Flower Show, taking place April 18 – 26, 2009?   It’s just a few hours drive from Indianapolis, and well worth the trip to attend one of the country’s premier flower shows.

    Tickets are now on sale for the holidays!
