“This was a WONDERFUL Show!
Management was excellent and sales
were great! I do many shows a year
and this ranks in the very top, perhaps
#1! We did the Orchid Show, RI Flower
Show, Philadelphia Flower Show, and
this was by far the best and definitely
had the loveliest flowers. A wellrun show is most appreciated by all
vendors!”

presentation of landscaped gardens
running the full length of the hall. Mixed
amongst the gardens are professional
florist and edible garden displays,
as well as audience participation
areas. Amateur floral and horticultural

ballroom, and special events, lectures
and demonstrations complete the
show floor. This year’s show theme is
“Superheroes of the Garden.”
