March can be a tough month; we’ve started to taste some milder weather, but in reality Winter still has us in its grasp. This is the perfect time to be dreaming of sunny warm days and green growing things. What better way to fulfill the desire for dreams of springtime warmth than by visiting the Boston Flower Show! It’s been a few years since I’ve been myself and I’m looking forward to attending again (the photos I shared here are from 2015).
The Boston Flower Show takes place every year in the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston, MA. This year’s show is happening from Wednesday, March 14th through Sunday, March 18th. The hours of operation are as follows:
Wednesday, March 14: 10:00AM-8:00PM
Thursday, March 15: 10:00AM-8:00PM
Friday, March 16: 10:00AM-9:00PM
Saturday, March 17: 10:00AM-9:00PM
Sunday, March 18: 10:00AM-6:00PM
The Box Office closes one hour prior to the end of the Show each day. The best hours to attend the Show for ease of parking and smaller crowds is in the late afternoon and early evening. (And in fact, you can get $5 off your admission if you attend after 5:00 pm on any day of the show!- see the tickets page for more info.)
If you aren’t interested or able to attend after 5:00 pm, you can still get a $2 discount on admission by using the promo code FLOWER18. This discount code is only valid through 3/13.
There’s a little something for everyone at the Flower Show. You can get inspiration for your garden plantings, landscape design, and edible gardens; as well as experiencing some fabulous examples of floral arrangements. There are numerous vendors on site selling everything from Adirondack chairs to felted floral hats and everything in between. There are concession stands with food available for purchase, but you are also allowed to bring your own drinks and snacks, if desired.
