The Preservation Society of Newport County invites you to the opening reception of Back in Bloom, A Ballroom Floral Fantasy, on Friday, June 18 from 6 – 9 at Rosecliff in Newport. Enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and conversation while taking in the beautiful sights and scents of the floral exhibits and garden vignettes inside Rosecliff. Advanced ticket purchases only. Following state gathering guidelines, ticket quantities are limited and will sell out.
The Salon and Ballroom of Rosecliff will be transformed into a magical experience to delight the senses with sights, scents and sounds. The Salon will feature the very popular Botanical Arts design classes, where talented designers will base their creations on expressions of a garden at nighttime. The Ballroom will be a stunning garden oasis featuring floral designs interpreting classes with titles like Garden Nymph, Fireflies and Harvest Moon. For the first time, the Horticulture Division of cut flowers and creative garden containers will be brought indoors and arranged around the central garden in the Ballroom. Finally, the Terrace will be transformed into a conservatory garden space and will feature al-fresco exhibition tables created by local event and floral designers.
This will not be like any other Flower Show presented at Rosecliff. It is a special installation created to meet today’s special circumstances. Unfortunately, we are not able to include the Oceanside Boutiques shopping or food concessions at this year’s show, but the Newport Mansions Store will be open at Rosecliff. The opening party is $150 for Preservation Society members, $175 for nonmembers. Register at https://www.newportmansions.org/events/newport-flower-show
