Dallas Blooms

Dallas, TX

Feb 24- April 8

The expansive 66 acres of gardens on the shore of White Rock Lake in east Dallas come to life each spring with great fanfare at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. Known as the largest floral festival in the Southwest, Dallas Blooms has been a Texas favorite for over 30 years. Expect to see almost every color imaginable as 500,000 flowers (notably tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths) bloom on the grounds. The six week-long festival gives the Arboretum the chance to rotate their floral arrangements often, depending on what’s in bloom each week, so multiple visits are encouraged to appreciate the full scope of botanical variety. And while exploring the gardens, don’t pass up the opportunity to indulge in warm bread pudding, a park favorite.

This year, the London event’s theme is “The RHS Greening Grey Britain Garden for Health, Happiness and Horticulture.” Two of its most unusual attractions include “Harrods British Eccentrics Garden,” with bizarre garden gadgetry that comes alive every 15 minutes and “Together We Can,” an acoustic garden of percussion music inspired by deaf solo percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie. https://www.rhs.org.uk/shows-events/rhs-chelsea-flower-show/plan-your-visit

New York

The Orchid Show

One of the world’s leading floral artists, Ost uses flowers as a means of expression. His large-scale artworks have been tailored to the unique environment of the landmark Victorian-style Conservatory, complementing the architecture of the building while creating a transformative, dazzling spectacle of color, form, and texture.
