Following 2009's sad demise of the New England Spring Flower Show--a tradition in Boston for 137 years--Paragon Group stepped up to the plate to ensure another year wouldn't pass without a flower show in Boston. After visiting the inaugural Boston Flower & Garden Show at the Seaport World Trade Center on the second day of its March 24-28, 2010 run, I'm pleased to report that Paragon has hit it out of the pahk, as they say in Boston.
The show was so crowded that it was tricky to maneuver through the landscape displays and extensive garden marketplace. The Blooms! design competition, presented by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, also attracted a large, appreciative audience.
As you'll see from my photos, the revamped gardening and growing show features all of the colorful, educational and inspirational displays for which Boston's annual flower show was known. Hopefully, this strong debut ensures a spring event for garden lovers will flourish in Boston for centuries to come.
