there is always an anxious cabin fever in the air at the beginning of March up in these parts. we’ve just endured 4 months of cold, wet weather with no sunlight insight and we are so close to the first buds on the trees that we can taste it. its also that time of year where we are quietly anticipating open day at Fenway (Go Sox!) (although i must say those Celtics are kickin’ but). in need of a little green, i headed over to the 137th annual New England Spring Flower show over at the Bay Side Expo Center.

i knew that this is exactly what the doctor order. there was flora as far as the eye can see and where o’ where to begin? throughout the floor were a number of installations, fantasy displays and award winning plants. one of our favorite installations was a display by the landscape architect Peter R. Sadeck. We could see it from across the room. Surrounded by bamboo sat a peaceful, stylish and serene sitting area amongst the moss, , and xxx. I had the pleasure of meating Peter as I sat in awe and asked if I could just spend the day there. Peter is a landscape architect with over 30 years of experience with landscape design and installation, complete garden restoration and installation of natural ponds and waterfalls.

between the outdoor urban terrace and lavish flower dresses, i are REALLY ready to get our hands dirty this spring. happy spring!
