If you don’t trust a prognosticating groundhog and spring isn’t coming fast enough for you, enjoy an early dose of warmth and sunshine at the Boston Flower & Garden Show, March 13–19 at the Seaport World Trade Center. Blossoming with vibrant color and creativity, this expo showcases garden displays fitting this year’s theme of “The Beauty of Balance” while offering lectures, demonstrations, workshops, a kids activity area and a marketplace selling the latest tools for every gardening enthusiast. A preview party benefitting The Genesis Foundation for Children—where guests can enjoy food and an adult beverage while mingling among the displays and listening to music from Danish pop and soul band Lukas Graham—takes place March 12 from 6–9 p.m.
