The 2012 Rhode Island Spring Flower and Garden Show is bound to live up to the its reputation as an utterly creative, and uplifting experience - a tonic for winter blues. At a time when life is hectic, this Show provides a welcome alternative. The theme SIMPLE PLEASURES will evoke images of those moments in our lives that we recall as the special ones- memories of childhood, in Grandma’s garden, bursting with daisies, roses, delphinium.....perhaps a longing to return to the Zen garden we enjoyed on our last holiday, or teasing out a plan to create our own meditation garden.

• New Café Bookstore on 5th Level
• Cooking and Horticulture Demonstrations
