The ADS Little Rock Convention was fantastic!

I just got home last night after some extended travel after the Little Rock Convention.  I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Gary and Bonnie McClure, Char Roush, Susan Rose, Jim Russell, Leianne McGinnis and to everyone on the Convention Committee! It was a fantastic convention, a gorgeous show, and the garden tours were terrific!

Here are a few photos of the P. Allen Smith tour some of us took the first day of the Convention.

Some of us who did not judge the ADS National Show toured P. Allen Smith's Mountain Home on the first day of the Convention.

The daffodil house at P. Allen's was a hit with the ADS group

The daffodil house at P. Allen’s was a huge hit with the ADS group. Our group got close enough for photos and to see how it was constructed, but we were warned that some of the vines could be poison ivy. What a good way to keep everyone from touching the structure! ;->
