New England Spring Flower Show

Posted by Donna Diegel Mar 6, 2008

Spring has sprung! Say goodbye to winter and get in the mood for the spring season. March ~ the third month of the year ~ can come and go without much notice and most people will have forgotten it all too soon. It's still cold in most parts of the country, not quite winter, not yet spring and summer feels like a long way off. It doesn't seem possible, but this weekend is also the start of Daylight Savings Time! That means crocuses, daffodils and tulips and lots of them!

The Boston Flower Show

Another rite of spring is the annual New England Spring Flower Show in Boston, Massachusetts. If you happen to be in the Boston area during this time, you won't want to miss it. This show is Huge! It's so big, it can easily keep anyone with a green thumb happy for nine days! Buy a lawn mower, composter or a garden tiller. Sit through a few lectures and learn something new about organic gardening. You won't be sorry!

Eat Your Way Through Boston

Also known for great restaurants, fabulous bakeries and Irish pubs, Boston is a foodies dream come true. Spend a few days in the city, go to the Flower Show and eat your way through Boston's ethnic neighborhoods. Take in a museum, go to a show and walk the cobblestone streets of Boston. A mini vacation may be all you need to shake the rest of the winter blues away!

Bake, Bake, Bake!

And if that's not enough to bring Mother Nature out of hiding, you can always bake her a Lemon Meringue Pie! Who could resist that?
