A Visit to the Cleveland Botanical Garden Flower Show

By Sandy Mitchell, About.com Guide

Another of the Cleveland Botanical Garden's collection gardens is the Japanese Garden. This peaceful oasis is particularly lovely in May when all of the Azaleas and Rhododendron are in full bloom. For the Flower Show, the garden is hosting the non-competitive Bonsai displays.

The 2007 Cleveland Botanical Garden Flower Show runs from May 24 to May 28. Show hours are 10am to 8pm Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and 10am to 5pm on Sunday.

Admission is $20 for adults, $6 for children 4-12, and free for children under 3. Members receive a $6 discount. An all-show pass is available for $40.

Parking is available throughout University Circle. The Garden is running a free shuttle bus from selected area lots. See the Garden's Web site for details. There is also onsite valet parking offered for $15 (a good idea if you are planning on buying any large pieces of garden art).
