You can also bring the springtime into your humble abode, thanks to the floral design and demonstrations in the Rose Garden by Mary Delia Poynter of M.Delia Designs for Lucy's Market will delight guests.

Of course, there’s more than just flowers for the Garden Party. A trip down to the Skyline Garden will also elevate the experience by filling the air with ballroom dance lessons and classical jazz.
