ContainerCrazyCT Visits the Boston Flower and Garden Show 2015

               Here are some highlights of the Boston Flower and Garden Show this year. I thoroughly enjoyed attending with a good friend, Rhonda. She invited me along and I am thankful we attended. The show was a little less packed this year in regards to displays and vendors – and it was not a surprise to learn why – apparently the huge amounts of snow fall in Boston this winter prevented some landscapers to load up supplies, like large boulders to frame displays, because all was buried under mounds of snow. We can’t blame them – it has been a rough winter especially for Boston folks.

Attending a flower show in a city like Boston is much fun, especially if you are able to spend an overnight by the Boston Waterfront, which we did. The hotel I like is the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel located at 606 Congress Street. It is only about a block? away from the flower show’s location at the Seaport World Trade Center. We found our stay there very enjoyable. Staff and valet guys were friendly and helpful, the restaurant in the hotel served a wonderful breakfast, and you are literally minutes from over 18+ restaurants.
