Welcome


The Boston Flower & Garden Show returns to the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston on Wednesday, March 14 through Sunday, March 18, 2012 offering hundreds of ideas for adding the ‘wow’ factor and a welcoming vibe to one’s outdoor spaces. The theme — First Impressions— will showcase ways to express one’s personality and style as well as add enjoyment and value to one’s property.

Set to the backdrop of spectacular garden displays by cutting-edge landscape professionals and area nurseries, visitors to the 2012 Boston Flower & Garden Show will also enjoy hours of lectures and demonstrations by top garden writers, industry professionals and chefs, shopping from a wide marketplace featuring thousands of plants and hundreds of the newest gardening products, as well as chances to take home exciting giveaways.

First Impressions Highlights:

  • Meet HGTV star John Gidding, host of Curb Appeal: The Block, when he visits the show Friday, March 16 to demonstrate easy garden makeovers.
  • Become an Urban Gardening Guru: Stop by on your way home from the office for the After Work Urban Gardening Series in which city garden center staff and horticultural non-profits will lead programs on growing edibles in containers, community gardens and gardening in small spaces.
  • Learn the Value of Curb Appeal: Local real estate professionals will offer landscape staging tips and estimate the true value of specific landscape upgrades.
  • Get the Party Started: Local chefs will transform easily-grown produce and herbs into impressive, party-starting appetizers for your next backyard bash.
  • Strut Your Stuff In Floral Competitions: The annual tradition continues as the Massachusetts Horticultural Society and the Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts coordinate colorful competitions amongst the region’s top amateur floral arrangers and horticulturists, all set to the show theme.
