Hicks Nurseries' 21st Annual Flower and Garden Show

There’s be flowers!!!! Lots of them!!!!
 
There is a light at the end of this miserable winter and it will be shining at Hicks Nurseries in Westbury. The Hicks Nurseries’ 21st Annual Flower and Garden Show, opens on Friday, March 11, and runs through Sunday, March 20. This free, 10-day event features beautiful indoor display gardens, gardening seminars, cooking demos, and many activities for children.
           
Inspiring gardens in full bloom are on display. “Turn Your Backyard into an Event” is the focus of the gardens this year: a Backyard Wedding, Birthday Party, 4th of July Barbeque and Luau Pool Party. Visitors will go home with lots of ideas on how to stage a great event right in their own backyards.
 
The show gardens are well labeled and packed with ideas. Horticulture and design specialists present practical advice and information in seminars and demonstrations. Long Island chefs offer cooking demos, plus tastings and recipes.
 
At the show, the nursery is launching its new Design Service Division. Homeowners will be able to bring in photos to help the designers assist them in realizing their landscape vision.
