Big Show

From: Susan Cooper coops at execpc.com> on 2001.08.28 at 15:22:00(7313) I'm planning on heading to the Big Show. I was considering driving from Wisconsin so I can fill up the car with plants, but it is a looooong way! I can't wait! +More Susan Cooper

From: "Don Burns"donburns at macconnect.com> on 2001.08.28 at 16:24:00(7315) Every year we see some guys fly in from California equipped with trunks to carry plants. They end up paying over weight baggage fees but apparently its worth it. Don +More >I'm planning on heading to the Big Show.

From: Albert Huntington balberth at yahoo.com> on 2001.08.29 at 01:26:54(7316) Last year I flew in from California with a big empty suitcase... Seemed to work out fine after bare-rooting everything, which is probably a good idea anyway. I find that bringing a bunch of plastic bags, paper towels, and rubber bands doesn't hurt either. This year, I am probably going to show up with a carry-on. About half my collection is outside for the summer, the greenhouse is already full, and it's amazing how much bigger everything has grown since last year. On the other hand, some of those auction plants do look intriguing. :-) In any case, I hope to see everyone there! --Albert +More --- Don Burns wrote: > Every year we see some guys fly in from California equipped with trunks to > carry plants. ===== Albert Huntington San Jose, CA U.S.A.

From: Susan Cooper coops at execpc.com> on 2001.08.29 at 03:31:44(7320) Last year I stuffed 13 plants, including 3 Amorphos that were at least 3 feet tall into a garment bag. I could hardly carry it, but they all made it home safely! Susan +More At 11:23 AM 8/28/01 -0500, you wrote: >Every year we see some guys fly in from California equipped with trunks to carry >plants.

From: Cgdz33a at aol.com on 2001.09.04 at 13:29:39(7327) This may be an odd question to those of you who transport plants often but does florida have any regulations about bringing plants onto a domestic flight? I hope to attend and im sure ill but something and dont want it confiscated at the airport Eric C Morgan +More Clark Botanic Garden

From: "Cooper, Susan L." SLCooper at scj.com> on 2001.09.05 at 01:41:36(7337) No, that is a great question, Eric. Oops, just realized I read it incorrectly. I doubt Florida cares if you take stuff out, but what about bringing plants IN? If someone could answer both questions that would be great! Susan L.

It would be great to have you set up on something before hand. At the time of the show we tend to get a little frazzled and it's hard to direct anyone. But the help is always needed.

I'm trying to talk my friend Sara into coming- told her airfares are cheap from Pittsburgh!
