No, I haven't. Then again flowers and gardens aren't my thing. I've known other people who did these types of sponsorships for wedding shows, etc. and reported little ROI and stopped.

That isn't cheap.  We have sponsored a breast cancer awareness run in the past for two years at a high sponsorship level, but was disappointed in the marketing we received. I find our money is better spent in other ways.

No.  I don't see the value in these events, in general, and in specific a gardening event.  Those don't seem like people looking to sell/buy a home.
