This year’s winter season has definitely been unusual. Sunny and 50 degrees one day, and freezing and snowy the next.  Nevertheless, March is here and we hope the sky will clear up and the sun will shine brighter once Spring 2017 in a few weeks. New York will be in full bloom, as majestic gardens in the city and upstate open their doors for the best flower shows of 2017. In a city where our eyes are exposed to too many cars and buildings and not enough gardens, it’s always a breath of fresh air to see nature celebrated with colorful, beautiful flower displays. Here is what you should know about this year’s top 3 floral delights.

The Orchid Show: Thailand

New York Botanical Garden’s 15th annual Orchid Show is definitely a one-of-a-kind experience. This year’s exhibition transports you to the lush tropical gardens of Thailand.   For a day you can trade in the rush and rumble of NYC living for the peaceful and serene landscapes of a traditional Thai pavilion adorned with hundreds of jaw-dropping orchid arrangements.  discover the unique evolution and survival mechanisms that make orchids some of the most diverse and well-adapted plants on the planet. In addition, NYBG this year’s event includes Thai dance performances,  film screenings, tours, as well as amazing educational seminars about orchid care with expert Q&A’s. Planning a memorable romantic evening? Your date will surely be impressed by Orchid Evenings! Visit the flower show before April 9th so you don’t miss out!

Macy’s Flower Show Presents Carnival

One week each year over the past thirty years Macy’s Herald Square department store transforms itself from destination for clothing and accessories to a lush landscape of spectacular, bright floral gardens. That time has come again! From March 26th until April 9th the carnival is coming to Macy’s. Plan your visit easily through the interactive map on the website. (Trust us, there’s PLENTY to do.)  Whether its learning about edible floral cakes or flower show family day – no one will leave disappointed. Make your visit even more worthwhile with the special Macy’s Flower Show Shopping Package, available at the Visitor Center for only $50.

Capital District Garden & Flower Show

After months of planning, the 30th annual Garden & Flower Show will be held at Hudson Valley Community College from March 24th through the 26th. If you are a garden and flower enthusiast, you’ll definitely want to be among the 12,000-15,000 attendees. See 100 garden and floral exhibits in a 17,000 sq. ft. space, attend workshops plus live flower demonstrations by a lineup of reputable speakers, buy your gardening tools (plants & seeds, equipment, outdoor furniture, spring flowers, etc.) from over 150 vendors, and taste various exquisite wines. Those experienced in floral design can apply to the Floral Design Competition and win ribbons coupled with a year’s worth of bragging rights, if selected for Best of Show and Most Creative; more details here. A General Admission ticket is a mere $12, and a 2-Day pass is $18. The show might not be in the city, but it’s absolutely worth the drive.

The post 2017 Flower Shows: The Best & The Brightest appeared first on NYC Luxury Apartments for Rent | Glenwood Management.

Weird (and amazing!) how it went from biting freezingness and driving snowstorm to glorious warmth and hope and comfort over the course of, like, 48 hours this week. But we’ll take it! Because even though it will likely be another few weeks before some of these grime-coated ice mounds actually disappear, it right now seems certain that, once again, spring and sunshine and naps on the grass will all actually happen. In celebration of this inevitable and yet always-so-wonderfully-surprising change of seasons, the city’s great gardens have just opened, or are preparing to open, the best New York City flower shows for 2015, so here’s a sneak peek at everything you can expect from the blooming delights.

The 2015 Orchid Show at New York Botanical Garden: Chandeliers [Now through April 19th]

This New York Botanical Garden’s Orchid Show is always pretty spectacular, but this year they’re trying something a bit different which, from what I hear, is both more creative in terms of design AND even more beautiful than ever. The 2015 Orchid Show is called “Chandeliers” for its dozens of brand-new hanging creations, including simple baskets, riotous living columns, and the exhibition’s show-stopper, a massive, star-shaped “chandelier” exploding with literally hundreds of individual plants. More info here.

Macy’s Flower Show 2015: Art In Bloom [March 22nd through April 4th]

The annual Macy’s Flower Show tends to be a bit of a mob scene, mostly because you’re actually inside Macy’s, which already always feels pretty packed to this shopper. But if you live or work near Herald Square, it seems like it’d be worth checking out to see what the Macy’s designers do with this year’s theme, Art In Bloom. On the store’s main floor you’ll find the Pop Art Garden, the Portrait Gallery (famous faces in flowers, presumably), the Surrealist Garden, the Impressionist Garden, and a whole bunch more. And on opening day, in the first of many special events through the show’s two-week run, Martha Stewart herself will be on hand with, oddly, a cooking demonstration, as opposed to, say, a floral arrangement master class. ; More info here.

Cherry Blossom Season and Sakura Matsuri 2015 at Brooklyn Botanic Garden [April 25th & 26th]

Finally and, as usual, the spring event for which I’m most excited about, is the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s 2015 Sakura Matsuri festival, celebrating both traditional and contemporary Japanese culture and the culmination of the weeks-long Cherry Blossom Season. As always the BBG is breaking out its ingenious “CherryWatch Blossom Status Map”, for real-time updates on how many of its nearly 150 trees are in bloom on any given day. But for amazing cosplay, performances of all kinds, and a huge party atmosphere, the weekend of Sakura Matsuri, is the time to go. More info here.
