‘Game Of Gardens’ In Full Bloom, Bringing Vibrant Displays To Westbury

WESTBURY, NY — Hicks Nurseries' 36th Annual Flower and Garden Show presents Game of Gardens – an imaginative theme that brings game-themed florals to life.

Board games, yard games, and more are turned into an immersive experience. Families can explore thousands of vibrant flowers and greener, taking in the beauty.

For more than three decades, the flower and garden show has become a spring tradition for the community.

The show is planned a year in advance and includes more than 5,000 plants and 250 different varieties. People can visit multiple times and see differences in the horticulture, as the plants are timed to bloom during the entire course of the flower show.

This year's show was developed by Hicks Landscapes in collaboration with their retail visual and marketing teams.

Eleni Roselli, director of marketing at Hicks Nurseries, said their goal is to inspire visitors, highlight seasonal gardening ideas, and create an immersive experience throughout the greenhouse.

"We hope visitors leave feeling inspired and excited about the upcoming gardening season," she said. "The Flower & Garden Show is designed to spark ideas, whether that’s trying a new plant, refreshing a garden bed, or simply enjoying the beauty of flowers after a long winter. It’s also a chance for families and garden lovers in the community to experience something uplifting and creative together."

From Jenga to Candy Land, the displays showcase game-themed designs brought to life with flowers. Roselli's favorite part is seeing the reaction from visitors – watching their faces light up at the whimsical, colorful showcases.

"There's nowhere else that you can see something like that on Long Island," she said. "It's truly an amazing feat our team pulls off year after year. I love the combination of unexpected plants used together. It's very inspirational."

Admission is free and open to the public rain or shine inside their greenhouse. Visitors can enjoy the displays throughout the week, Monday through Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. until April 5.
