Saturday, September 21 – Sunday, September 22 – New England Fall Flower Show

The New England Fall Flower Show reflects on the rich history of MHS’s flower shows and embraces the future of how we continue to grow. This idea is summed up in the theme “Heritage and Hope”, which signifies how the show draws inspiration simultaneously from the nearly 200-year-old history of MHS and the legacy of the Flower Show as well as the limitless possibilities of the future. This dichotomy works harmoniously as an underlying current in the work of all competition entries and exhibitors. The event represents how MHS, and we as members of many communities throughout the region, can use the knowledge from the roots of our heritage and the aspirations of future growth to create, change, and inspire in the present.

The 2024 New England Fall Flower Show will take place on Saturday, September 21 and Sunday, September 22, 2024 at the Garden at Elm Bank in Wellesley, MA. The Schedule is live – access at https://www.masshort.org/fall-flower-show
