Connecticut Flower & Garden Show

The Connecticut Flower & Garden Show is the best place to pretend it’s spring instead of the middle of winter in New England. Three acres of landscape exhibits are in full bloom, each ranging from 300 – 2,000 square feet. It’s incredible. The exhibitor list is dizzying. Here’s the tiniest portion of stuff you’ll get to see there: water gardens, exterior lighting, fine art, pools, sunrooms, garden fencing, floral clothing, invisible deer fence, wheelbarrows, birdhouses, terrariums, bonsai, bamboo, garden hats, teak furniture, statuary (cross your fingers for gnomes)… the list goes on and on and on and on. Plus, there are 80 hours of seminars on topics ranging from floral arrangements to “When Good Worms Go Bad.”
