Today: 2015 Boston Flower and Garden Show

For the past four or five years, I’ve looked forward to the Boston Flower and Garden Show as sort of an unofficial start to spring.  And given the wild winter we’ve endured, I practically counted down the days to this year’s show.

I took fewer photos than past years, mostly because I had my hands full protecting Grace from flying elbows.  We didn’t make it in until Saturday (word to the wise: go during the week) and had to battle the crowds a bit, but man.  It felt good to see some flowers.  In the pretend outdoors.  

I can’t wait until spring is really here.  In the meantime, I’m dreaming up all kinds of things I want to plant and grow on our deck.  My parents gave me a tomato grow bag kit for my birthday and I plan to plant a few containers of herbs, as well.  While it will be nice to have more space to work with some day (I am swooning over the outdoor living spaces we saw this weekend), there really is so much you can do with a few square feet and some sunshine.

Here are a few of my favorites from the 2014 Boston Flower and Garden Show for your own spring daydreaming:

I love a good water feature.
How pretty are these seed packets?

Love a good living roof, too.

I think Southie could use a fairy house.  Or twelve.

 

An unexpected, but super cool sand sculpture
