There are also events such as a photography class showing how to use your smartphone to take and share flower pics and a "potting party" class where you can create your own container garden filled with colorful blooms.

Weather permitting, I'll be in Chicago around this time and can't wait to attend this..

Someone informs me also that Macy's has a flower show around this time in March! I'll post when I either research this or obtain more info~
