2008 SOUTHEASTERN FLOWER SHOW: IMAGINE THAT!

Annual Event Showcases Spectacular Gardens, Horticultural Innovations,
Renowned Speakers, Fab Shopping & Activities Galore
WHAT: Imagine That! is the featured theme of the 2008 Southeastern Flower Show, the region’s premier juried gardening and horticultural event. The gardening extravaganza will offer competition in floral design, horticulture, landscape and photography, as well as a retail marketplace, educational and family activities, industry experts and more.
WHEN: The annual five-day event will be held, Jan. 30 – Feb. 3, 2008. The treasured Atlanta happening has become a welcomed harbinger of spring.
WHERE: Building A of the Georgia World Congress Center, in downtown Atlanta, will be transformed into a vision of color and an explosion of scents.
SHOW DETAILS: Many of the Southeast’s premier garden designers and landscape architects will create extravagant indoor gardens for the Show. In addition, more than 200 invited judges from across the country will critique the entries of many of the nation’s expert horticulturists. National, local and regional speakers will offer their expertise on landscaping, cooking, flower arranging, recycling and more.
For more than two decades, the Southeastern Flower Show has inspired and entertained visitors, regardless of their gardening acumen. At the close of each Show, the organization creates The Legacy Garden, an annual outreach program that provides assistance with creating or augmenting a garden for one deserving local community organization each year. To extend public goodwill, The Southeastern Flower Show partners with several nonprofit groups committed to improving their communities through their environmental endeavors.
