The Hicks Nurseries Flower and Garden Show is officially open, and if you haven’t made the trip to Westbury yet, consider this your sign to go.
While many of us associate Hicks with the magic of the holiday season or the pumpkins of autumn, their annual spring show is a hidden gem that deserves a permanent spot on your calendar. This year’s theme, “Game of the Gardens,” is a whimsical, vibrant celebration of nature and nostalgia that you truly have to see to believe.
A Playful Twist on Tradition
Now in its 36th year, the show consistently manages to reinvent itself. This year, they’ve combined world-class floral design with artistic recreations of our favorite pastimes.
The “Game of the Gardens” theme isn’t just about flowers; it’s about storytelling. You’ll find iconic games and hobbies reimagined through a botanical lens, creating a display that is as nostalgic as it is beautiful.
From Floral Displays to Fine Art
What the team at Hicks Nurseries has pulled off is nothing short of incredible. These aren’t just simple plant arrangements—they are genuine pieces of art.
You can’t help but stop and stare at the level of detail. From the choice of textures to the vibrant color palettes, it’s clear that a massive amount of thought and craftsmanship went into every square inch of the exhibit. It’s the kind of beauty that demands you slow down and take it all in.
A Masterpiece Close to Home
We are so incredibly lucky to have a destination like this right in our backyard. It’s a reminder of the creativity and passion that exists within our community. Whether you are a seasoned gardener looking for inspiration or just someone who needs a visual “pick-me-up,” this show delivers.
Bring the Whole Family
One of the best things about the Flower and Garden Show is that it’s truly for everyone. It’s a multi-generational experience that feels special no matter who you bring along:
- For the Kids: The playful “Game” theme is engaging and fun to explore.
- For the Parents & Grandparents: It’s a serene, stunning way to spend an afternoon together.
- For the Bestie: It’s the ultimate backdrop for photos and a great excuse for a post-show coffee.
