The Boston Flower & Garden Show will return to the Seaport World Trade Center, 200 Seaport Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts, March 12 through 16, 2014, with the theme “Romance in the Garden”.

Set to the backdrop of garden displays by landscape professionals and area nurseries, the 2014 Boston Flower & Garden Show will feature hours of lectures and demonstrations by garden writers, industry experts and creative local chefs, a diverse marketplace featuring thousands of plants and hundreds of the newest gardening products, and new special events designed to illustrate the changing landscape of gardening.

This year’s Florist Invitational is “takin’ it to the streets” – the Bike Lane that is, with an exhibit called “Tour de Romance” using bicycles as container, canvas and inspiration (see photo).

In “Small Garden Vignettes: Amore Al Fresco”, exhibitors are asked to create a small freestanding garden inspired by a scene of romance or seduction from a specific, named piece of literature, a movie or a popular song.
