Lights, Camera, Bloom! The theme this year was Celebrating the Movies and well, the world’s #1 event did not disappoint. The partnership of PHS with Disney/Pixar produced quite a spectacle with a lot of WOW factor. I was very happy to see so many young families walking through the show… starting the tradition. Many customers that I spoke with had grown up attending the show and this year had brought along their own children.

Now, the whole princess thing can be a bit much I know and I was concerned when I heard all of the movies represented were Disney… but the displays were so creative, sophisicated and artful.

Cinderella’s Banquet Table  Loved the colors in the Alladin themed design

Cinderella’s Glass Slipper is back there under the glass dome…

I thought the interpretation of the Disney Princesses was so creative! Above is Merida from Brave…

Pochantas

Ariel

Loved this take on Rapunzel!

A little Remey’s Bistro from Rataoullie

An interpretation of Frozen 

Enjoyed Burke Brothers design… they incorporated real chickens who where quite a hit.

This garden was my favorite, I think. The Mulan inspired garden.

It was sublime.

  Loved the ceramic fish swimming above the pond and in and out of the irises.

  How gorgeous is that?! Can’t I do something like this on my deck?

Mustn’t forget Never Never Land and the Lost Boys.

Do you see Hook’s hat? Tinkerbell was in there too!

Lots of orchids.

This design was so creative and the photos won’t do it justice. Imagine that the rope line in the photo is the line from a boat with an anchor at the other end. The vertical beams are a dock and we have an underwater view with the fish swimming by. Clever, right? J Downend Landscaping did the design based on the movie Nemo.

Do you see the fishing boat at the top with the oar?

A Winnie-the-Pooh inspired landscape. Very sweet. Made me think of the Bean.

This landscape was based on the original Parent Trap movie. Loved that film.

And my MOST favorite highlight of the 2015 Flower Show was working with my two favorite girls- Junebug and Lala. Three generations of gardeners… what a joy!
