Pros:
This is a must do event for anyone with a green thumb. The event is covered with professionally designed floral displays, and the vendors have a variety of art, flowers, and a few other things as well. The event also has a photography contest every year, and the best entrants (and winners) are on display.
Cons:
The show is truly a one trick pony. If you don’t love flowers, stay home. There is no real entertainment either, just the artwork and flowers on display.
Recommendations:
If you love flowers, this is your event!
