Guests enjoyed an evening reception at the 2002 Spring Flower Show after Bill Cullina's lecture, 50 Great Native Plants for the Northeast, on March 6, 2002.

The 32nd Annual Spring Flower Show at Mount Holyoke College Botanic Garden will begin Saturday, March 6 and run through Sunday, March 21, 2004 in the Talcott Greenhouse. The popular show will feature hundreds of spring-blossoming bulbs and plants, which are displayed in
the main Show House. In recognition of the 2004 US Women’s Open to be played at The Orchards golf club in South Hadley, this year’s theme, “Links to Spring” will include golf-themed vignettes interspersed among spring blooming bulbs and plants. Visitors may expect to see fragrant hyacinths, narcissus, pansies, anemones, ranunculus, daffodils, crocus, scilla, muscari and primroses, as well as the brightly-colored, daisy-like Cineraria and the red and yellow-hued Calceolaria, or Pocketbook Plant.
