Pink Slip is ecstatic to announce that we have been selected to participate in the 2012 Chicago Flower & Garden Show on Friday, March 16th at Navy Pier! We absolutely love the theme of this year's show: "Hort Couture." Flowers and fashion have a lot in common. Vibrant colors. Rich textures. The power to inspire—and make jaws drop. Twenty Pink Slip models will be sporting our hot spring couture beside some hort couture from 5:00 pm-8:00 pm. Come out to show your Pink Slip support while walking through picturesque life-size gardens, learning about the latest gardening tools, and enjoying cooking demonstrations, youth activities, potting parties, educational talks, and much more! We are thrilled to be a part of something as big as the Flower & Garden Show, the Midwest's premiere flower and landscape event! We hope to see you there!
