It was a beautiful day at the Sacramento Perennial Plant Club Annual Plant Sale (SPPC) at the Shepard Arts and Garden Center at McKinley Park, in east Sacramento. Did well selling bamboo and the last of my Japanese Maples, saw some friends from last year and made some new ones this year. This sale is more than just making money, its a social experience. McKinley Park is in a beautiful part of Sacramento in an upscale neighborhood (homes built in the 1930's to 1940's) that is a bit bohemian, great venue overall with customers that get gardening as 
evidenced by simply walking outside along the sidewalks in the neighborhood (awesome 30-50 year old Japanese Maples all over the place).I also met fellow blogger, Trey Pitsenberger, from Golden Gecko Nursery up the hill in Garden Valley, CA. What a nice guy, very down to earth. I have followed 
and commented on Trey's blog (a good one in my book) for several months now and it was nice to meet him in person.

my !!@# off today but it was well worth it, no doubt a good sleep is in store for tonight.

Sounds like a great day! I've been considering selling some plants this year myself.

Glad the sale turned out well.
We were going to try and go, but a thousand other tasks awaited us yesterday. I could have met both you AND Trey? Man, I missed out.
