More Spring Flower and Garden Shows

This is the only North American flower and garden show endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society of Great Britain, producer of the Chelsea Flower Show. Even the most accomplished gardener will learn a trick or two here. It's their 20th anniversary and they've got a new, large location. Look for features on container gardening, courtyards, window boxes and don't miss "Around the World Fine Dining and Wine Tasting".

The largest show of its kind in North America, with over 150,000 sq. ft. of garden displays. Last year they tranported us to Bella Italia. This year it's "Romantic France". For all the show highlights, check in with About's Guide to Cleveland.

Cleveland Botanical Garden Flower Show - Memorial Day weekend 2010. at the CBG on University Circle (Held every other year.)

The CBG show is modeled after the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, this is the largest outdoor flower show in North America. CBG is home to the renowned Western Reserve Herb Society Garden. Sandy Mitchell, About’s Guide to Cleveland, shares her peak at the garden displays in 2007.

Oregon

This show is produced by the local growers and gardening experts of The Oregon Association of Nurseries. Nine display gardens, 250 exhibitors and a Kids Digs section are just some of the highlights. This show is designed for gardeners of all abilities, with any size garden. The idea is to "beautify your home & garden from the outside in".

Pennsylvania

This is still the big one. Ten acres of displays and wares, plus great seminars. If you're looking to escape somewhere warm this spring, the theme for 2009 is "Bella Italia". Displays promise to "...transport guests to the majestic gardens of ancient Rome, the lush hills of the Tuscan countryside, the romantic waters of Venice, the artful flora of Florence, and many other distinctive landscapes of Italy." The Italian influence will extend to vendors and food and one especially interesting feature added this year, a "Fashion District" "...inspired by the haute couture and hand-blown glass of Italy. Students of Moore College of Design have been paired with floral designers to create a "runway" of Italian-inspired floral fashions.The Flower Show Shoppe will have hand-painted ceramics, Murano glass, antique cameos and one-of-a kind vintage pieces for sale.

Rhode Island

“Gardens of the World,” is this year’s theme and the 30 display gardens are going to take us around the world to exotic and romantic gardens from the Australian Outback, to Mayan and Incan ruins, to sunny Tuscany and Spain.

Tennessee

It's the 20th Anniversary for this show and "Yards of Flavour" is the theme, "...with the 'flavour' of all types of gardens – traditional Southern gardens, formal English gardens, romantic Italian gardens and, of course, tasty vegetable and herb gardens," said Randall Lantz, co-manager of the show. Most of the display gardens include water features, ranging from small fountains to large waterfalls, and elaborate structures such as rock walls, terraces, pergolas and gazebos. There will also be 250 exhibit booths and a floral design gallery featuring the work of more than 25 designers.

Texas

Local garden & landscape experts will be onhand at the "Garden Theater", to talk about gardening, organics and anything having to do with plants in South Texas. About's San Antonio Guide also intrigued me in her garden show write-up with the "Go Texan" Area, featuring wine and other products from Texas.
