More than 8,000 people attended the event, which was held Friday through Sunday at the Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction. The event is held every other year, said Ashley Robinson, a member of the board of directors with Green Works, which organizes the event. More than 100 vendors and about 10 nonprofit organizations were also in attendance.Each year, the event features a "grand garden display" and a number of vendors.

Baby's Breath blooms in abundance in Medicine Hat - CTV News
Tuesday, August 13, 2019Infestations are often found downwind from cemeteries because the seeds escape flower arrangements that are left on gravesites so some local florists have decided to ban the bud. Florist, Barry Charlton says there are alternatives. “We carry wax flowers, Limonium as a filler flower. The wax flower is very similar to Baby's Breath, it's a little white flower," said Charlton. Characteristics of Baby’s Breath: Grows up to 2.5 feet (0.75 meters) in height Has a deep root system that helps it to survive in arid conditions Has branched clusters of many small flowers Flowers have five white petals and 10 stamens Leaves are opposite, narrow and covered with a dense bloom of hairs on both sides Stems are upright or ascending at the base and single to many in number Flowers form capsules that contain small black seeds, 0.06 to 0.08 inches (1.5 to 2.0 mm) long For more information on Baby’s Breath and how to prevent and control it click HERE.
