Festival of Flowers

For the thirtieth year, a beautiful floral display will encompass the Ascension Providence Hospital Campus for the Festival of Flowers. This year's festival will celebrate the Japanese-influenced gardens by Lead Designer Dale Speetjens of Shipshape UrbanFarms, taking guests through an immersive experience past Mount Fuji, through a bamboo forest, and beyond. The weekend, which has been recognized as a "Top 20 Event" by the Southeast Tourism Society, will also feature educational seminars and demonstration, a Garden Market with vendors from across the country, a Garden Café, and much more. Festival proceeds will be used to purchase a Jackson Spinal Table for Ascension Providence Hospital. $15 at the gate, $13 in advance. Find more information on special events and the full schedule at festivalofflowers.com.
