Now through Sunday, March 26 Boston's annual Flower and Garden Show plants a punch of Springtime on the eyes and ears of anyone weary of this winter. Professional landscape designers have translated this year's theme of "Superheroes of the Garden" into 17 extravagantly lush scene-stealers. Their utility belts employ the powers of innovation, a rainbow of planting materials and designs with enough mossy imagination to catapult any would-be troweler into a heightened state of Spring-fever.
Surrounded in technicolor, masterful works by stonemasons interpret fable, romance, and whimsy in structures evocative of Merlin's magical "Sword in the Stone," a cozy fireside cabana, and the fairy house of Miss Tinker Bell. Archways, gateways, and pathways lead from horticultural havens into grand floral arrangements, charm-filled window box displays, and free lectures.
