7th ANNUAL NEW JERSEY FLOWER & GARDEN SHOW
EDISON, NJ—Shrug off the winter blues – spring’s bright blossoms and mood-lifting sense of renewal arrive early at the 7th annual New Jersey Flower and Garden Show, running Feb. 12-15 at the New Jersey Convention Center in Edison.
Outside, it’s cold and dreary. Inside, spring is blooming in every color of the rainbow, hyacinth blue to cherry blossom pink. Beds of flowers, sparkling fountains and entire gardens with arbors and koi ponds lay one step over the threshold. Like magic, you’re in another, greener world. How do they pull this off?
It’s not easy fooling Mother Nature in the frozen depths of winter. In fact, it’s a tricky business that has fallen on hard times. The New York International Orchid Show and Boston’s 137-year-old flower show both folded in 2008, victims of a worsening economy and daunting logistics. New Jersey’s show, still young, keeps growing.
“It’s the hardest show we put on,” says James McLaughlin, president of MAC Events in Spring Lake and show producer. The company presents 20 shows and exhibitions every year, including home and boat shows. “Those involve inanimate objects — at a flower show, everything is alive and perishable. We plan, cross our fingers and hope we don’t have a blizzard.”
MAC Events created the show from the ground up as a garden showcase for the Garden State. Along the way, it has put down roots and sent out shoots, welcoming partners that give depth and scope to its programs. Among them are Rutgers University and its Cooperative Extension Service; Rutgers Gardens in New Brunswick and the New Jersey Conservation Partnership fostered by the state Department of Agriculture.
The Associated Professional Landscape Designers and the Jersey Shore Rose Society are now partners, too. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is another ally, dispatching experts to judge the Garden Club of New Jersey’s floral competition, held annually at the show. All of this cross-fertilization means the show gets a little bigger and better every season.
Gardeners Go to School
With so much know-how at hand, education is an important focus of the show. McLaughlin has made this the year of smarter gardening with an expanded schedule of talks, tips and hands-on demonstrations.
“Gardeners Go to School” includes more than 20 free events. The “Bouquet of the Day” offers quick takes on the latest trends. The separate lecture series lets speakers expand on topics ranging from from lawn care and “greener” gardening to home-made plant remedies. Speakers include trend-setters like Rebecca Kolls, seen on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” and old hands like Ralph Snodsmith, host of WOR’s “The Garden Hotline” for 35 years. There’s a separate “Growing Up Green” program for young sprouts, too.
Full-spectrum Display Gardens
At the heart of the show are real gardens — self-contained landscapes with trees and grass and dazzling swaths of flowers. Dream a dream of spring in nine display gardens created by New Jersey’s creative landscape designers. Awash with color from a gardener’s palette, display gardens are always the show’s biggest draw.
In tune with this year’s theme, “It’s a Colorful World,” gardens take the color wheel for a spin. “Heart and Soul of the Garden” divides the spectrum in two. The passionate half features flowers in steamy reds, yellows and oranges. The soulful half is a study in moody blues, purples and greens.
In “Green Grows the Garden,” blossoms bright enough for butterflies bloom in an eco-conscious habitat. Flowering trees and swaths of spring bulbs set the pace in “Passage to the East,” a garden where Asian influences meet modern American design. There are six more gardens, each full of spring’s vibrant colors, scents and sounds. The garden-hopping is invigorating; the inspiring ideas are free.
Valentine’s Day for Sweethearts
Hearts and flowers are a classic combination. Spend Feb. 14 among thousands of flowers in vibrant bloom on the show floor. Fill the day with entertaining lectures and gift-shopping in the Great Garden Marketplace where over 100 vendors have everything a gardener needs.
Saturday night is date night. Wine and cheese tastings set the mood for a romantic stroll through display gardens where you’ll both catch a breath of spring. Stop to smell the roses – really. After 5 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Valentine’s Day, admission is two-for-one.
Gardeners’ Dream Vacation
Flower-lovers might even walk out of this show enroute to another — by way of the airport. Winners of the show’s drawing get a trip to the world-renowned Chelsea Flower Show and London’s famous sights May 17- 24. Look for the kiosk at the show or enter on-line at njflowershow.com or MacEvents.com.
You won’t get a better chance to cheat the seasons until winter loosens its grip. Spring is alive and well at the flower show. Grab a sneak peek!

TURN IDEAS FOR SPRING PROJECTS TO SUMMER REALITY AT MAC EVENTS GARDEN STATE HOME SHOW FEB. 8-10
Thursday, January 24, 2008
SOMERSET, NJ – Now is the time to get those ideas for turning the backyard into a resort-like family retreat onto paper and start moving plans for outdoor renovations toward reality at MAC Events’ 19th Annual Garden State Home Show, February 8 through 10 in the Garden State Convention Center.
“Winter is the time to plan gardens and landscape improvements, decks and outdoor kitchens, swimming pools and any other outdoor amenities you hope to enjoy this summer,” said show director James McLaughlin, president of MAC Events.
“People that attend our winter home shows often come in search of ideas for outdoor projects. In a few hours they come away with a better vision of what want to do and a better sense of how to accomplish it,” McLaughlin said.
The show also will feature appearances by author and one of House Beautiful Magazine’s Top 100 interior decorators, Doug Wilson, host of television’s Moving Up and a frequent guest designer on Trading Spaces, both of which air on The Learning Channel.
A modern day Renaissance man and master of using intricate wall treatments and decorative painting techniques to create bold and powerful 21st century designs, Wilson will make two appearance at the Garden State Home Show on Saturday, Feb. 9 at 1: & 3:30pm.
“Doug gives our show guests tips on how to produce unique results when undertaking renovations and decorating,” McLaughlin said. “He demonstrates the value of a good imagination to any decorating or renovating projects.”
An imagination also can make a big difference in doing over your outdoor spaces and the more than 250 home improvement exhibitors at the Garden State Home Show include a variety of companies specializing in exterior renovations, landscaping, pools and spas, and other elements of outdoor living and entertaining.
Jay Eriv of GROUNDS KEEPER Inc. in Matawan is putting together a garden to demonstrate some of the options available to consumers at the Garden State Home Show.
Eriv works with natural materials, sometimes using boulders to create retaining areas and nooks in a garden. For the home shows he often includes elements such as sleek upright speakers and lighting that accents a real garden of blooming plants.
“Ultimately its outdoor living space and entertaining space,” Eriv said. “Hopefully, it’s the favorite room of someone’s home.”
Tumbled inter-locking block walls are popular especially in smaller more confined areas. Multi-tiered yards that create more inventive spaces also remain in vogue.
The pool and spa companies exhibiting at the show do work ranging hot tub installation to elaborate waterfalls and grottos with special effects such as lighting and fog coming up around the pool.
“Vanishing edges around the pool, sunning areas, cabanas, and outdoor kitchens all remain popular,” said Dominick DiCesare of Blue Haven Pools, located in Morganville and Berlin, NJ. “People want more of a resort look than just the backyard pool we had when we were growing up. They are putting more money into the backyard. With the price of gas, they want to create a vacation environment they don’t have to travel to enjoy.”
Rob Sarbone, general manager of Cue and Spa Inc., a Jackson Township spa and hot tub wholesaler, said consumer tastes have driven more elaborate features on the hot tubs he plans to exhibit.
“Armrests are very important. People are asking for waterfalls, aromatherapy and fiber optic lighting. Instead of taking a vacation, they’re staying at home to save money and putting it into things at home that they enjoy when on vacation,” Sarbone said.
Cue and Spa also plans to exhibit one of the gazebos it carries in sizes of 10-by-10 feet to 14-by-14 feet.
Show guests also can meet “Sparkee,” mascot for the Somerset Patriots baseball team. He will be on hand Saturday from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm at the Five Star Home Remodeling booth to pose for photos with children.
The 19th Annual Garden State Home will be open Friday, Feb. 8, from 1:00-to-9:00 pm, Saturday Feb. 9, from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm, and Sunday, Feb. 10, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Admission is $9.00 for adults and $6.00 for children 12 through 17. Children 11 and under are admitted free. Seniors can take advantage of a Friday special admission price of $8.00 and adults can take advantage of two-for-one date night admission after 6:00 pm on Friday and Saturday.
