Boston Flower Show Highlights

Here is just a quick peak of some of the highlights from the Boston Flower Show we have just participated in the last week. It was tremendous effort from everyone here on the team at SHF. We set up our booth last Monday and the show began on Wednesday. Now with today being our final, here are just a few of the many highlights too many to list and describe.

There were floral competitions on one whole side of the convention center. This particular one caught my eye in where floral designers had to make a bicycle into a botanical work of art.

The major theme though of the flower show was 'Romance In The Garden'. All the display gardens created by garden designers had to reflect that specific theme so it was no wonder, outdoor beds, water features, fireplaces and bottles of wine on display were prevalent and well done!

Pictured above is a view from our booth when the crowds came rolling in at 10:00 a.m. on opening day.

Besides the begonia society and MASS Hort's displays, there was the Bonsai Society's magical booth. I loved how they took even miniature daffodils and perennials and put them in bonsai pots creating special tiny vignettes.

Here pictured above is a shot of our booth decked out with topiaries, ferns, succulents and statuary. Across from us was Karen and I's favorite display; the Orchid Societies. They really brought down the house with all their cultivars and species. The following images are just some of the more than a hundred that they were showing off last week.

So we hope you enjoyed this quick look at the highlights from the Boston Flower Show if you couldn't have made it this year. We are now gearing up for our final show of the season before summer Trade Secrets. We will be there on May 17th in Sharon, Connecticut so stay tuned for more details!
