The New England Spring Flower Show is a warm reminder that the growing season is just around the corner.

This last winter (almost over as I write this article) was one of the warmest on record in New England, and it looks like the flower show dates will continue the trend with a warm week in the forecast.

The theme of this year’s show is “Welcome Home! Celebrating Our Great New England Landscape.”

If you’ve never attended this event before then you’re in for a treat. For returning attendees then you’ll know there’s always a ton of new exhibits and surprises awaiting you. The New England Spring Flower Show is the region’s largest indoor flower show and one of the largest in the world. This is one delightful flower show and considered to be the horticultural event of the Boston season.

In store for visitors this year are the usual wonderful indoor open garden displays that are the cornerstone of the show, and a packed agenda of lectures, practical demonstrations, show events, and the large hall of Garden Marketplace – full of stuff to buy and reproduce some of the amazing plants and flowers at the show.

The show is put on by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, who somehow each year manage to pull this staggering event together, and trick the flowers and plants to thinking its spring when it isn’t. And then after the show sending them back to sleep again for another five or six weeks… mind boggling, especially in our New England climate!

Any place that brings springtime to a New England winter deserves a visit, and for the next week you can experience this for yourself. Show time hours are: Saturdays: March 11 & March 18, 9:00am to 9:00pm – Sundays: March 12 & March 19, 9:00am to 6:00pm – Monday to Friday: March 13 to March 17, 10:00am to 9:00pm. Ticket prices are: $20 – Adult, $17 – Seniors, and $10 – children (4-12).

The 135th New England Flower Show is at the Bayside Exposition Conference Center, just off the Southeast Expressway (I93) at exit 15, or exit 14 if heading south.
