CNY Blooms

The 2009 CNY Blooms – Syracuse Flower & Garden Show is being held at the OnCenter, Wednesday through Sunday, March 4^th-8^th, 2009. The event is brought to you by the Central New York State Nursery and Landscape Association.

This is a group of local professional landscapers and nurserymen dedicated to the care of your landscape investments. We are committed to the improvement of our environment. We strive to encourage and inspire you in the creation of a beautiful yard for your enjoyment year round. Our mission is to showcase our landscaping talents and to promote horticulture in CNY.

Our Flower & Garden Show will have 10-12 competition gardens, local college participation, and garden clubs. With an emphasis on education, there will be many horticulturally relevant seminars and presentations. Our Association will have its own display garden which will be designed and installed by some of our most talented members.

Visual Technologies takes part every year by helping the many exhibitors at the CNY Blooms Show by providing equipment for their various audio/visual needs. These exhibitors all come from the Green Industry, ranging from outdoor/indoor plants and flowers to fencing and outdoor furniture. This event features all the various aspects needed to help create a beautiful outdoor landscape.

This year the exhibit floor will include thirteen large landscaped gardens by local landscapers, who compete to showcase their talents, and over 100 individual exhibit booths from CNY and across the country.  They are also adding a Children’s Discovery Garden to the 2009 Show.

The show has two days of education session on the weekend which are open to all show attendees for no additional charge. These sessions attract a highly educated, qualified crowd to the show, which includes certified master gardeners.

The show has an active committee of fourteen CNYSLNA volunteers who are committed to the success of the show. The show is positioned to become one of the largest attractions in CNY as it continues to grow. CNY Blooms had an attendance of over 7,000 in its second year and is expected to draw over 10,000 in 2009.
