Flower Show Week is here! My staff and I have been at the CT Convention Center in Hartford since Sunday. Wait until you see the show this year- it is going to be amazing! We are lucky enough to be able to watch all of the beautiful landscapes come together from start to finish. As we walk up and down the aisles, we are seeing lots of new vendors.
What is Natureworks up to this year? A LOT! Besides our ginormous retail booth, packed to the gills with SEEDS, terrariums, bulbs, fairy gardens, books, and so much more, we are also creating TWO educational displays. Right next to our booth Diane and her team have designed a monarch butterfly educational display. It is beautiful and tells the story of how we have raised over 1000 monarch butterflies at Natureworks in the past few years.
In the landscape section, I have designed a pollinator garden, complete with an insect hotel created by Kassie and Kyle. It's not a big garden, but it tells a great story- how early blooming trees, shrubs, perennials, and bulbs are SO important for our native pollinators.
I hope you can come to the show this year. With the warm weather this week, the witch hazels are blooming and the winter aconites are opening on the south side of the shop. I have been seeing photos of Hellebores in flower on Facebook. You will see TONS of all of the above in the landscapes at the flower show. Trust me, you NEED this escape to a lush world of flowering plants to help you get through until Natureworks reopens on March 20th.
See you at the show!
