Our Experience
When we visited, the energy was incredible. You could tell people were ready for spring.
The garden installations were easily one of the highlights — full-scale setups that felt like walking through mini outdoor escapes. Some were modern and minimal, others cozy and rustic, but all of them were super creative.
It’s also a great place to connect with local vendors. We found everything from unique plants to outdoor furniture and small details that can completely transform a space.
