Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Step Into Spring

Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken” features the famous lines, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I / I took the one less traveled by / And that has made all the difference.” At the Vermont Flower Show, the pastoral poet’s verse inspires themed garden and horticulture displays designed to evoke the wonders of hidden, enchanted spaces. Flowering plants, water features and dry-laid stone walls from the featured artist, acclaimed stoneworker Dan Snow, transform the Champlain Valley Exposition into a woodland wonder. Attendees can explore the processes behind this colorful explosion of flora and (pretend) fauna with more than 80 exhibits, seminars and workshops.
