Newport Flower Show Tickets on Sale
Tickets are on sale now for The Newport Flower Show, one of the country’s premier floral events, celebrating its 30th anniversary June 19-21 at Rosecliff.
The show’s theme, “Pearls of Newport,” is named for the traditional 30th anniversary gemstone and evokes the elegance and sophistication of Newport’s Gilded Age as well as the city’s coastal and maritime identity.
“The Flower Show is the best way to kick off the summer season in Newport,” said Trudy Coxe, CEO and Executive Director of The Preservation Society of Newport County, which organizes and hosts the show. “There’s nothing like being in this gorgeous oceanside mansion filled with flowers of all kinds and buzzing with activity inside and out. I can’t wait to see how the ‘Pearls of Newport’ theme inspires floral artists to their best work.”
Displays of floral design and botanical arts will fill the first-floor rooms of Rosecliff while horticultural specimens grace the back terrace and attendees browse the lively Marketplace on the oceanside lawn.
Throughout the show, floral and gardening experts will give presentations, including:
- Sarah Boynton, author of “Botanical Arts: A Guide to Creating Art with Plant Material for Flower Shows” and the 2026 Newport Flower Show Botanical Arts Class Consultant.
- Margot Shaw, founder and editor-in-chief of FLOWER magazine and author of “Flowering Outdoors: Garden & Parties: Inspiring Floral Touches for Outside Spaces and Entertaining.”
- Jill Brooke, flower historian, founder of FlowerPowerDaily, columnist for Florists’ Review Magazine and author of “The Genius of Flowers.”
- Elizabeth Brown, author of “The Beginner’s Cut Flower Garden,” certified therapeutic horticulturist and Maine Master Gardener Volunteer.
- Jana Milbocker, author of “Gardens of the Gilded Age” and owner of Enchanted Gardens, a landscape design firm.
These programs are included with Flower Show tickets for the day of the presentation. Each speaker’s books will be available for purchase.
