Steve Lorton was a longtime staff member of venerable Sunset magazine. Now the magazine's Ambassador, he represents them at garden shows and other events. He led an informative media tour that Sue and I took at the Northwest Flower and Garden show in February.

Steve will be talking about "My Life in Other's People's Gardens" Saturday, May 10 at Lakewold Gardens.

The event, from 1-4 p.m., is free to members of the Northwest Perennial Alliance and $5 for all others.

It's also the final day of MayFest which Lakewold calls "a celebration of spring with a festival of events including exhibits, demonstrations and more."

Get Growing

Craig Sailor is the Arts & Entertainment editor at The News Tribune. Last year he planted his first vegetable garden. Focusing on unusual varieties, “Freak of Nature” returns for 2008 with a new crop of uncommon vegetables and flowers. This year he’ll try yin yang beans, giant pumpkins, blue poppies and mutant sunflowers. He gardens at his North End Tacoma home and sneaks seeds in to his mother’s garden at Willapa Bay when she’s not looking. .

Sue Kidd is the Lifestyle Editor at The News Tribune. She is a devoted vegetable gardener, but otherwise a tragic mess at growing just about anything else. Her current obsessions are growing tomatoes on a trellis and trying to convince all her South Hill neighbors to ditch the chemicals and go green in the garden (they are very suspicious of her). She’ll blog about garden gadgets, the latest garden trends and her current garden disasters. She is also the ringleader for the Home&Garden section, so e-mail her with thoughts/rants/questions/bizarre observations. sue.kidd@thenewstribune.com. Use it.
