The Vermont Flower Show is back! After nearly a four-year hiatus due to the pandemic, we return stronger, even more creative, and ready to celebrate our 20th year. This year's Grand Garden Display theme of "Out of Hibernation! Spring Comes to the 100-Acre Wood" is sure to inspire and will be a magical garden journey bringing the original world of Winnie-the-Pooh to life.
The 2019 VT Flower Show attracted 11,500 people of all ages from Vermont, New York, Canada and beyond! Along with the grand garden landscaped display, the show offers a wide variety of features to choose from (see highlights below)– all included in the price of admission. Plan on spending the entire day at the show! It's no wonder that the Vermont Chamber of Commerce named our last show one of the State's "Top Ten Events of Winter".
The show is open to the public on Friday, March 3 from 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Saturday, March 4 from 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. and Sunday March 5 from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. The daily cost of admission is $25 for adults, $20 for seniors (60+) & college students, $7 for students (ages 5-17), and free for children 4 & under. Tickets can be purchased in advance at https://vnlavt.org/vermont-flower-show/buy-tickets/. Parking for this event is free!
