Since we we ’re invite to create a little space at the newly revise and renamed , Boston Flower Show , which was lacking last year after a 180 year run , I remember that even though this week was very engaged already ( with a hymeneals to contrive , a boastful presentation at work , and the National Rock Garden Society Eastern Winter Study Weekend ) , it seemed like the right thing to do .
It ’s alot of work for us , since we are neither professional person with a stave , nor are we simply bringing in a pot or two for the amateur section . Technically , we are amateur , and even though our show is only about 8 feet across , it need grow enough stuff to follow a theme ( ours was plants of the southerly Hemisphere ) , and , hop that they bloom in metre ( most did n’t ) , then selecting the plants a few days out front , and them debase two cars and SUV ’s ( oh yeah , and buy props from Ikea ! ) then taking a day off from work , driving into Boston betimes , unloading at the convention center , parking the car , and so on . Still , it ’s sort of fun once it ’s all done , we feel good about it .
We lucked out , and had our little glasshouse display locate in a good site , between the Alan C. Haskell exhibit ( complete with many live birds in an aviary ) and a beautiful pond display . I am usually fairly decisive about these shows over the past few years , since they seem to be more lawn and lawnmower show , than any histrionics of the glory day of flower show . But this show , be it littler with fewer exhibitors , is incredibly beautiful . The designers were still installing tonight , as we left , but we saw unbelievable forced foxgloves , perennial , English garden flora , pool and urine , and lots of majuscule forced plant stuff like tree diagram and bush . This time , it ’s not one of those shows where you only see Natalie Wood mulch , cedar fence and terrace . This show has real horticultural interest .
Not sure how we will fare competitively , but here is a sneak bloom of out display , which we really had to pull together with very small nice plant material , for whatever intellect , very little came into bloom in fourth dimension . Those plants ! You ca n’t depend on them!A aspect of the ontogeny WITH plant garden way exhibit we set up tonight .
If you are in the Boston region this week or weekend , please terminate by and see this skillful show , and substantiate the Massachusetts Horticultural Society as they re - ignite the heritage of one of the most beautiful and older bound bloom shows in the country . Another display at the Boston Flower & Garden Show , this one by a commercial nursery was set up a nice garden kitty .
