THE BEAUTY OF THE MACY’S 2013 FLOWER SHOW
By: Hope Wilkos, Writer/Blogger Photographer: George Whylie Videographer: Maxine NolanNature comes alive in March as Spring comes knocking on our doors. Although there is still a chill in the air, Macy’s in Herald Square has decided it’s time for a change of scenery.
We welcome their creativity as Broadway Plaza brings us the annual Macy’s Flower Show. From 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. from March 24 – April 7 (except from noon to 5:00 p.m. on Easter Sunday)visit The Painted Garden. This year’s presentation celebrates the beauty and splendor of the southern regions of Asia with a vibrancy that will lift your spirits and keep them soaring. Not only will you enjoy the outdoor garden, but inside the store a bouquet of the day awaits you each day. Stunning masterpieces from some of New York’s top floral designers are on display. Ed Libby and Yena Jung started the festivities out and now Olivier Giugni will create from 3/29 – 3/31, Jorge Cazzorla on 4/1 and 4/2 and Kenji Takenaka from 4/5 – 4/7, 2013.
Complimenting the floral arrangements is the most gorgeous of tableware by Lenox, Marchesa by Lenox, Kate Spade New York, Edie Rose Home by Rachel Bilson and Portmeirion. Floral motifs, hummingbirds, roses, hydrangeas and peacocks feed your desire for spring and nature’s bountiful garden. Sponsors for the event are The Cooking Channel, Homewood Suites by Hilton, The Makers of Zyrtec and Pepperidge Farm.
You have so much to look forward to. Get a glimpse of the towering elephant painted in ceremonial style and blanketed in live blooming flowers. Surround yourself in clusters of trees with brilliantly painted trunks. Be amazed by rich jewel tones, gleaming golds and peaceful earth tones.
If you present your Flower Show brochure at the Visitor Center on the 34th Street balcony, in return you will receive 10% off a Visitor’s savings pass. Valid ID required and some restrictions apply. Hold on to the memories all year round with The Painted Garden totes, t-shirts and mugs.
You can also find the fabulous flower show in Macy’s Philadelphia, Chicago, Minneapolis, San Francisco and don’t forget to visit Macy’s Cherry Blossom Flower Show in Washington, D.C. It is all part of the tradition of cherry blossoms and Japanese gardens honoring our nation’s capital. See the topiary garden featuring Crimson Queen Japanese maples, white snow fountain, pink subhirtella cherry trees then move on to check out the Japanese lantern surrounded by florist azaleas. Come April 7th, the Okame cherry trees will be donated to the City of Washington, D.C. for replanting.
What better way to brighten your day and get in a bit of shopping while you are admiring the flowers.
