Landscaper History/Types Of Flowers

I began this journey of doing the gardens and the shows back in 2004. Was lucky enough to come in here out of school and be hired as an intern, and ever since then it's been just an upward challenge to keep the gardens in shape and to produce this show every year. This year's exhibit will contain upwards to 14,000 bulbs in bloom in the house at any one point. The show in February is one of the earliest shows in North America for a forced bulb show. Some very big challenges come up to make it happen in the middle of winter. As you walk through the museum, you will see the different displays that we have put out to show you how Eastman may have had it. We do have pictures that show he had orchids and forced bulbs around the room, just not as extensively as we show in one show. Our thought is to bring to you all of the amounts of flowers he would've seen in his winter months in the short time of the show. This year's show will include hyacinths, daffodils, tulips, amaryllis, a lot of early spring blooming plants that you would see very early, hellebores, primroses, begonias, a lot of the fun stuff that we see in the early spring trying to shake away the wintertime.
