Everybody Gardens editor Doug Oster will be appearing at the Duquesne Light Home and Garden show from March 1-10, speaking every day.
The event is held at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, and Doug will be speaking from the Green Thumb Stage, which is on the first floor, in the back near the Everybody Gardens area.
When you come in the front entrance, go to the booth for vendors and pick up your will-call tickets. Tell the person you are there to hear Doug speak. A condition of getting the free tickets is that you come for Doug’s presentation.
If you would like to get on the list to see Doug, just email him at doster@535mediallc.com or send him a message on Facebook.
Doug will have a free packet of ‘Heart of Italy’ tomato seeds for anyone who comes to hear him speak. There will also be a chance to win Flower Carpet roses.
Enter to win a trip to Fallingwater with Doug. It includes a special in-depth tour of the house that allows for photographs to be taken (usually not allowed). There’s also a tour of the grounds from Fallingwater’s horticulturalist Ann Talarek and lunch afterwards at the Fallingwater Cafe as part of the prize.
There’s also a giveaway for a Kitchenaid mixer, courtesy of Everybody Craves.
You can also sign up for the Everybody Gardens Seed of the Month Club during the show. If you sign up at the show, you’ll receive two free tickets to the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens and a free bottle of Bobbex deer repellent.
New this year at the Everybody Gardens booth will be a bundled selection of Doug’s favorite seeds.
