You are in luck if you read this column early today and can make the Plant People Road Show at the Old Kona Airport Pavilion starting at 8 a.m. and closing at 1 p.m. There will be choice plants for Valentine’s Day gifts, especially rare orchids and anthuriums.
Featuring Big Isle mom-and-pop nurseries, the Plant People Road Show is 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 10, at the Makaeo Pavilion at Old Kona Airport State Recreation Area.
Days are a bit chilly but are getting longer. However, there is a noticeable spring fever effect when it comes to local gardeners because many fragrant flowering plants start blooming at this time. Also, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner so it is time to shop for gifts.
