As a result of the ongoing health concerns from the spread of COVID-19 in the region, The Boston Flower & Garden Show will close at 6 p.m. on Friday, March 13, 2020. The scheduled show days of Saturday, March 14 through Sunday, March 15 have been cancelled.
"We are taking this unprecedented action to help protect our attendees, exhibitors and all participants from COVID-19," said Carolyn Weston, Show Manager of The Boston Flower & Garden Show.
"Because 'the show must go on' is part of our DNA, the decision to cut the show short didn't come easy. Our focus remains with the health and well-being of all those involved in this enduring event. We have already been in communication with our exhibitors and partners and thank them for all their support and contributions,” Weston added.
The decision to close the show early was made in consultation with The Seaport World Trade Center.
The Boston Flower & Garden Show is about inspiring, educating and motivating the region’s gardeners. Whether for curb appeal, backyard, kitchen, rooftop or community garden, this is where New England’s green lovers and families go to discover new ideas while having fun. Our customers and employees are our highest priority.
A good deal of you have been refunded for tickets that you purchased in advance. If you have purchased a ticket in advance and have not yet attended the show, we will be issuing refunds to un-scanned tickets over the next two weeks. We appreciate your patience as we work through this process.
