Join Me at the Newport Flower Show Saturday, June 20

I am speaking at the glorious Newport Flower Show in Rhode Island...It is a great flower show in the most unbelievable setting on the ocean. 

The display gardens this year revolve around the theme of The White City.  The World's Columbian Exposition, also known as The Chicago World's Fair, was held in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World. In large part designed by Daniel Burnham and Frederick Law Olmsted, the buildings and monuments were all clad in white stucco and because of the extensive use of ‘new’ electric light strings and street lighting, the central fairgrounds became known as The White City.

Six professional landscape firms have installed gardens interpreting the Beaux Arts garden design principles of neoclassicism, symmetry and opulent splendor for today’s landscape. All floral color is white.

Here is what I am speaking about:
