One of the Flower Show's theme gardens, the "Opera Hortensia," will stay in place until the next Flower Show in two years. The striking, classical garden was designed by landscaper Robert Frieden of Frieden Landscape Design in Chardon Ohio.

The garden is terraced up a hill in a sort of Roman amphitheater shape with arches, columns, and Mediterranean plants, such as lavendar and olive shrubs.
