Minnesota Arboretum's Flower Show offers a nice winter break

It is a nice break from our winter landscape in Minnesota.

The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Spring Flower Show is in progress. It runs in the Arboretum in Chanhaassen southwest of Minneapolis in mid -March.

I had the opportunity to enforce the event and take a few pictures last weekend. I thought that the readers of this mini -tropical interlude in the dead of our winter in Minnesota could appreciate.

There are some microclimas at the event that enable colorful tropical flowers such as orchids.

The air systems, which Tillandsia referred to in the balcony area, were among my favorites.

The displays are super creative and have planned for months when the Arboretum employees and the occupying team are planned for Arboretum. In the event, the displays include many plants and trees from the area of ​​the arboretum that was brought in.

Here are the descriptions of the arboretum of some special features of the show:

NEW! A constantly changing exhibition with a new flower exhibition by another local artist or designer per week of the show.

● Birds and botanical – present birds in sculptural form under the flowers as part of a special art exhibition that intertwines the elegance of bird life with the lush shape of plant shapes. Selected artists are Fawzia Khan, Mindy Sisk and Patty Carmody Smith.

● Herbal garden – touch and smell plants in this aromatic garden to raise your mood and calm your system.

● Mushrooms – Learn how you are looking for sustainable harvesting and feeding practices, see mushrooms in all their growth phases and experience the miracle of nature's recycles that divide plant matter into its most basic building blocks.

● Botanical woven fabrics from branches, grasses and other plants collected from the Arboretum site hang on the rays of the Oswald visitor center.

● Enchanted Woodland Village – imagine a world in which elves and gnome -cavort with fairy tale houses – are small and a new creation of human size.

● Forest fans hunting – you will find cheeky enchanted creatures that hide under the flower show flowers. They travel around during the show to keep the search alive.

● Discover the hidden layers of plant – terrariums reveal the layers of healthy soil and roots in sight and give you the opportunity to slow down and see the smallest details.
