- June 24 - 26 the Newport Flower Show is celebrating its 16th anniversary. This exhibit is intended to depict high style Newport entertaining.
- The concept for this exhibit is a seaside garden with planters featuring colorful, low maintenance plant materials.
- This landscape design put together by New England Nurseries uses tropical plants in a variety of colors and textures.
- This is a small garden where large components are used to create a sense of space. Containers of tropical plants are used to add a festive and dramatic counterpoint.
- Designed by Liquid Designs, this landscape explores using containers through the Japanese art of floral arranging known as Ikebana.
- Here the "floating" stepping stones at the entry require attention to foot placement which allows you to focus your attention on the garden and appreciate its beauty.
