The Fair will be held in the beautiful Regenstein Center. There will be tents over the Esplanade and the Rose Garden as well as vendors in Burnstein Hall, Runnells and Searle Courtyards, Nichols Hall, Joutras Gallery, and the Greenhouse Galleries. Guests will find a variety of treasures in every price range.

Guests will also get spring fever by viewing gardens designed by Craig Bergmann Landscape Design, Inc., Mariani Landscape, Rosborough Partners, Inc., Schmechtig Landscape Company, and William Heffernan Landscapes, as well as exquisite floral booths by Botanicals, Designs by Jody, Heffernan Morgan Designs, and Kehoe Designs.

On Friday, Honorary Chair and Guest Speaker Alessandra Branca will present her approach for creating elegant and comfortable interiors. This will be held in the Alsdorf Auditorium at 10:30 a.m. Afterward, she will sign copies of her book, New Classic Interiors.

On Saturday and Sunday, three complimentary flower-arranging demonstrations will be given in various vendor booths at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 2 p.m. This spectacular show is produced in conjunction with Stella Show Management, based in New York.
