I recently returned from the granddaddy of all indoor flower shows, the Philadelphia Flower Show. I was speaking about my new book Vegetable Gardening for Dummies on behalf of the Gardener's Supply Company. It was a packed house and the show was amazing. The theme of the show is Passport to the World and it features more than 30 show gardens from countries such as India, China, Singapore, Netherlands, Brazil, and South Africa. The artistic expression and breath of flowers that were forced into bloom was amazing. Just to see colors and greenery this time of year was a treat!

So, what's a cabin fevered Vermonter to do? You could hop a flight to Philadelphia. The show goes through March 7th. Or visit one of the closer shows. The Boston Flower and Garden Show is back! After a one-year hiatus, the show will be held from March 24 to 28, 2010 at the Seaport World Trade Center. The theme this year is a Feast for Your Senses, with show gardens, exhibits, and talks throughout the 5-day run.

Even closer to home is the Gorgeous Gardens and Green Living Show hosted by the Vermont Nursery and Landscape Association. The show is held on Saturday and Sunday, March 13 and 14th, at the Riley Rink in Manchester, Vermont. It features display gardens and talks on horticulture, agriculture, and sustainable homes and gardens by local and national gardeners, such as Julie Moir Meservy.
