Join The Vermont Nursery and Landscape Association at the 2025 Vermont Flower Show at the Champlain Valley Expo in Essex Junction, Vermont on March 7 – 9 as we celebrate and recreate gardening through the ages and discover how we as humans learn from the past as we cultivate our own gardens and plant for the future.  At this year’s show you will stroll through fields of tulips, experience an English Cottage Garden and Tea House Garden.   You will take a walk back in time through Medieval, Islamic and Victory gardens.  As we look toward spring and planning our own gardens, no matter how small or large, the 2025 Vermont Flower Show is sure to inspire your own style of gardening.  Tickets are available at https://vnlavt.org/vermont-flower-show/
