With its timely theme, the Newport Flower Show will also commemorate the 60th anniversary of The Preservation Society of Newport County by highlighting each of the Society's 11 historic properties, from the colonial Hunter House (1748) to the Gilded Age Rosecliff (1902).
Ron Morgan has dazzled lecture and garden club audiences with his wit, knowledge and unparalleled creative talents for over 20 years. His unique talent for turning ordinary into exquisite, by using an unusual variety of plant materials, combined with extraordinary containers, is his trademark. He will headline an exciting line-up of speakers who will share their expertise with show-goers throughout the weekend.
For the first time, the Flower Show will open to the public on Friday, June 24, providing a rare behind-the-scenes look at the last-minute preparations by exhibitors and judges, as well as the first opportunity to view the floral arrangements and horticulture exhibits, shop among the dozens of unique vendors in the marketplace, and dine along the water's edge on the lawn of Rosecliff.
Once again this year, children will have their own corner of the Newport Flower Show with specially-designed floral arranging and horticulture classes, workshops and demonstrations just for kids.
The major sponsor of the Newport Flower Show is F.A. Bartlett Tree Experts. Proceeds from the show benefit the ongoing historic landscape restoration efforts of The Preservation Society of Newport County, a non-profit educational organization accredited by the American Association of Museums and dedicated to preserving and interpreting the area's historic architecture, landscapes and decorative arts. Its 11 historic properties—five of them National Historic Landmarks—span more than 250 years of American architectural and social development.
