Creating Garden Window Boxes
This year amateur and professional exhibitors created 20 window box garden displays for competition. The container garden collections provided a variety of plant designs and inspiration for visitors at the flower show.
Barb Leonard of Loveland Greenhouse was the designer of “Nuove Altezze de Felicita” New Heights of Happiness that is meant for a sunny location. The plant combination included Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Wilma,’ Solenostemon ‘Indian Summer’ and Tradescantia zebrine.
Spring Flower Show
The Cincinnati Flower Show takes place in Symmes Township Park in southern Ohio, each spring. The flower and garden show includes exhibits, plant markets, lecture series and tours. White tents line walkways where plant and garden markets are open for visitors to gather ideas or purchase plants and garden accessories. In 2010, the lecture series offered free and paid programs where visitors could hear from national garden experts like Melinda Myers, garden writers such as Ethne Clarke author of Hidcote: The Making of a Garden and Ohioan Denny McKeown, author of The Gardening Book for Ohio.
The Cincinnati Horticultural Society began the Cincinnati Flower Show in 1990, with the long-range goal of creating the finest flower and garden show in North America. The flower show achieved that success while being recognized by Great Britain’s Royal Horticultural Society. In 2007, the Cincinnati Flower Show was included in the book, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die by Patricia Schultz.
The Cincinnati Flower Show is held each spring. Cincinnati is located in the southwestern section of Ohio separated from Kentucky by the Ohio River.
