Growers frolic to the Vermont Flower Show at the Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction for a weekend of earthy delights. This year’s theme, "A Story of Gardening," digs into the evolution of horticulture through the ages and how today’s practices draw on centuries of cultivation and imagination. Floral fans experience a memorable stroll through "fields" of radiant tulips, the timeless charm of an English cottage garden, and the ancient allure of medieval and Islamic landscaping. Kiddos also find much to do in the family room, including a dirty dig for creepy-crawlies in the Shelburne Farms worm bin. Now that’s an earthy delight!
