From a Ferris wheel made with thousands of flowers, landscape designs exploding with color and texture and a gallery with whimsical and dramatic floral arrangements, the Virginia Beach Pavilion will serve as the backdrop for the greatest show on earth.

Over 15,000 patrons attend the weekend-long show to get a jump-start on gardening tips, forecasts and tools of the trade. Major landscapes and floral displays provide gardeners with project ideas to replicate in their own gardens with newly developed hybrids, trends and techniques.

Educational classes from national and regional gardening experts are featured along with continuous demonstrations. A European-style flower market offers fresh flowers, 125 vendors display and sell garden-related merchandise and there are plenty of hands-on activities for children. The Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs Tidewater District also exhibits its annual flower show.

Hours 9-9 Friday, 9-8 Saturday and 10-5 Sunday
