Boston Flower Show

This past weekend my sister-in-law Tricia and I went into the Boston Flower Show. This was the first time either one of us had ever been. The show ran from March 13th -17th. A description of the show is below (taken directly from the website).

The Boston Flower & Garden Show is about inspiring, educating and motivating the region’s gardeners. Whether for curb appeal, backyard, kitchen, indoor, rooftop or community gardens, this is where New England’s green lovers go to discover new ideas while having fun with family and friends.

Colorful life-sized gardens and vibrant floral designs incorporate the newest design elements, examples of the popular and healthy food gardening trend ideas for adopting sustainable gardening practices and air-cleansing indoor plants. Included will be small-space gardens, homesteading hobbies, edibles-as-ornamentals and family and pet-friendly spaces for outdoor relaxation and entertaining.

This year’s Show theme is “The Beauty of Balance”, which is a key factor in design decisions, plant and material choices, and in cultivating the right-size garden for our lives and budgets. We explore the harmony we create within our gardens, vases and living spaces.

Though the show is over, you can still obtain information by going to https://bostonflowershow.com/.

Below are some photos I took of some of the displays and beautiful plants. It really put me in the mood for spring and I can’t wait to start my planting.

I loved these big pots. Though I don’t think it would fit in my yard.
Ahhh… is it Spring yet?

If you are looking for something to do, I highly recommend this next year. It was a great day out.
