The gardens at the 2012 Boston Flower & Garden Show will team with the bright colors and fresh scents of the new season, providing creative and colorful expressions of the show theme “First Impressions”. Landscape designers, nurseries, schools, and non-profit organizations will illustrate hundreds of ideas to add the ‘wow factor’ to yards, gardens, outdoor entertaining areas and indoor living spaces, increasing enjoyment, and even the value, of our homes.
