The entire show is spread out over 11 acres, with the Floral Marquee as the centerpiece under the grand pavilion, which is the size of multiple football fields. The show attracts over 150,000 visitors each year. It really is quite spectacular (most years, anyway). I think some of this year's garden designs tended toward modernist minimalism, which isn't really my cup of tea. I can appreciate it, but I don't find it very engaging. It could be my mood and attention span were hampered by the lousy weather, but I think I would have found this year's show lacking, even if it had been sunny and 70 degrees instead of raining with cold temperatures.
