FLOWER FIX - WINTER SURVIVAL STRATEGY

In years gone by, I'd spend $30 plus for admission and parking at Boston or Providence Flower Shows. Here's a fun alternative that works for me. Try the Attleboro Flower Show to start, only $3 admission, free parking (it's this weekend folks!).

It only takes an hour to go through it and they do serve lunches, but go to the next stop, Briggs Nursery in Plainville (up Rte 152) and have a healthy lunch there. I had the Quiche and free lime water for $5. We garden shopped after eating.

 

 

 

Not done yet.  Jump on Rte 95 South, and go to Roger Williams Botanical Garden in the park. Past the Carousel  on your right. Only $2 admission and so worth it. Take pictures, just sit and soak up the atmosphere or work on a painting. This is how I survived winter. Give it a try.
