Special Show Attractions:

Display Gardens - Lush, full-scale landscapes dazzle with colorful flowers, bubbling fountains, creative lighting and garden pavilions full of great ideas for outdoor living. 

NEW Home Show - This year, there are two great shows together on one ticket. The MAC Events Home Show will be next door to the Maymont Flower & Garden Show. The Home Show will feature the finest home-related exhibitors from throughout the region to help you create the elegant home you've always wanted. Plus, don't miss the special attractions and seminars!

Lecture Series - Included in the price of admission, enjoy inspiring seminars by expert and entertaining speakers. The show will feature nationally-recognized guests offering a complete range of topics relating to gardening in Virginia.

Special guests include:

Paul Tukey, the founding editor and publisher of People, Places and Plants magazine and host of the HGTV show by the same name. He will speak on Friday about SafeLawns.org, an international coalition of for-profit and non-profit organizations promoting environmentally friendly lawn care and resource conservation.

Joe Lamp'l, a master gardener, certified landscape professional, author, syndicated columnist and national television host and radio personality. He currently hosts GardenSMART on PBS and often appears on The Today Show to discuss eco-friendly gardening. Also a prolific writer, Joe pens a weekly syndicated newspaper column entitled The Gardener Within, and his latest book, Over the Fence with Joe Gardener, devotes most of its content to the all-important "why do" behind the "how-to" of our gardening lifestyle today. Joe will share the "Best of the Must-Haves."

Bouquet for the Day - Gardening gurus and experts offer great tips and demonstrations in our Bouquet for the Day area on the show floor.

Marketplace - A complete marketplace with vendors from across the country will stir your passion to plant with their treasure trove of items specially chosen for the Maymont show. The marketplace will have gardening goods including books, gifts, antiques, gadgets, native and exotic plants, artwork and more to tempt show visitors into a spring-like trance.
