 2008 New England Spring Flower Show
March 8 – 16, 2008
Bayside Expo Center, Boston
It turns out that “being green” isn’t that tough after all! With a few tips and tweaks, we can all enjoy sustainable, eco-friendly gardens. And “green” doesn’t have to mean dull and practical – this year we’ll show the cutting edge, sensual and colorful side of responsible gardening.
An annual rite of spring and one of Boston’s most enduring traditions, the New England Spring Flower Show has become the true symbol of spring’s arrival for almost 100,000 winter-weary New Englanders and Boston visitors. The show is now in its 137th year and has grown to be the third largest flower show in the world. The region’s most talented gardeners, designers and horticulturalists gather for nine days of breathtakingly beautiful exhibits, competitions, entertainment and information-sharing.
