“The CT Flower & Garden Show is the traditional kickoff to the region’s garden season. We look forward to renewed relationships with friends and subscribers. The four days of full-blown spring in February – is an awakening, inspiring, and educating experience for all.”
Anne & Will Rowlands, CT Gardener Magazine - Publishers“Many, many thanks to Kristie for her generous help & support of the Federated Garden Clubs exhibit, making it our most successful show to date! Her patience, knowledge of the business and willingness to help made for a great partnership! Looking forward to doing it again!”
Ginni Donovan, Federated Garden Club of CT - Show Chair“Thanks for putting on such a great show this year! The flower displays were spectacular and our sales were up 27%!”
Andre Kreft, Savor Fine Foods - Owner“The Flower Show has been great for Paul Buettner Florist. We have met many current customers there and have made quite a few new ones through the exposure. We have booked two weddings after meeting the brides at the show. To be able to meet and greet the thousands of flower lovers is incredible. The show increases our recognition and gets our name out there.”
Bob Buettner, Paul Buettner FloristOn behalf of the Federated Garden Clubs, I would like to thank you and your team for all of your support and good will (to me especially since I was a newbie!) From Laura, Carma, Pete an everyone else we got nothing but cooperation and smiles and that made the whole experience so much more special!
