One Stop E-Shop
By: Nathan Knightley
I was what you would call an armchair gardener. It's not that I didn't have the drive. When I lived in a house with my parents during my teenage years, I remember having a garden and flower spot in the backyard that would rock your world. I grew some of the most beautiful daisies and some of the freshest tomatoes that you have ever seen. It's just that, living in a small New York City apartment, I had almost no room at all for my personal effects. Have something growing was unthinkable.


Everything changed when I moved to San Francisco. I was very surprised by what I saw when I went to a SF flowergarden show. You see, San Francisco has a distinctive climate. Almost anything that can grow can grow there. It is bright enough for plants that need a lot of sunlight, yet there is enough precipitation for plants that need a lot of moisture. It is not too hot, and it is not too cold. It stays almost the same temperature all year. In short, it is the ideal temperate climate.


Because of that, San Francisco flowerandgarden shows are notorious over the world. They have some of the best and brightest flowers, the freshest fruits and vegetables, and the most remarkable gourds that people have ever seen. All the garden and flower periodical profiles them every year, and each year it is getting better and better. When you go to the flower and garden show in San Francisco, it is almost impossible to not become obsessed with the idea of growing something on your own. The plants are so wonderful, after all that, how could you resist? For my part, I simply couldn't!


Of course, going to a flower festival or reading a flower and garden magazine, is one thing. Starting a garden on your own is another. The flower and garden magazines make it look so easy, but it is not easy! But if you are passionate, you will forget how hard it was. I remember the way that my flowers looked when they were in full bloom, but I do not remember the amount of work that went into them. Having a few scattered flowers and tomatoes is one thing, but having a nice groomed garden is another. I had such unrealistic expectation from the flowers and gardens show that disappointment was anticipated. Nonetheless, after a few years, I did have an impressive flower and Garden display. I was growing plants from all around the globe!
