This March, head out to the Champlain Valley Exposition and take part in this annual event. Spend the afternoon wandering through the woods into the medieval castle as the setting brings your imagination to life. Walk through the garden, decorated with various local artisans’ creations that are sure to inspire. Further your gardening know-how by signing up for one of the educational workshops or seminars and gain valuable knowledge about gardening or landscaping from certified horticulturists.

The National Garden Club Standard Flower Show is put on by the Federated Garden Clubs of Vermont and includes several plant and floral categories for garden club members and the public to enter. While you’re out exploring all the Flower Show has to offer, your children will stay busy with activities and performances guaranteed to entertain them.
