Join us for the 2008 show, Sensuous Gardens, at the Virginia Beach
Convention Center from February 15-17, 2008.
SENSUOUS GARDENS – Our Lives
We live with four basic elements: earth, water, fire and air. Our homes,
gardens and all of our surroundings are composed of these elements, from the
grandest of estates to the simplest of abodes.
Earth serves to heal our bodies while water serves to purify our hearts.
Fire serves to transform our minds, and air serves to liberate our spirits.
The energy of these elements is encoded within every flower. And this gives
a whole new meaning to flower power.
EARTH is associated with TOUCH.
WATER is associated with TASTE and
NOURISHMENT.
FIRE is associated with VISION and
COLOR AWARENESS.
AIR is associated with SOUND and
SMELL.
Flowers themselves embody the "SENSUOUS GARDEN."
What do you get when you combine the Mid-Atlantic Home &
Garden Show, held each March at the
Virginia Beach Convention
Center, with the Virginia Flower & Garden Show, held each January at the
same venue?
You get the Mid-Atlantic Home & Flower Show, a bigger and better show
presented by the
Tidewater Builders Association and
The Virginia Horticultural Foundation.
Join us for the 2008 show at the
Virginia Beach Convention Center
from February 15-17, 2008.
This year will feature more vendors exhibiting and selling garden-related
merchandise.
