New Jersey Flower & Garden Show February 14-17, 2008

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

Although it is January, we need to prepare ourselves the busy month of February. After all, February is the month of Valentine’s Day and several flower and garden shows. In fact in Edison New Jersey, flowers and Valentine’s Day are taken to a whole new level with the New Jersey Flower and Garden Show. The Show begins on February 14th and ends on February 17th. Which gives me a great idea for a Valentine’s Day gift idea - tickets to the show tucked in a bouquet of roses; a unique gift and a day of fun to boot. Anyone visiting Edison or living in New Jersey is welcome to use my Valentine’s Day gift idea.
