Maine might still officially be dealing with winter, but we all know that warmer weather must be coming. While we still probably have a few more weeks of cold weather and (let’s face it) another snowstorm or two, we’re looking for all the signs of spring. One of the most tell-tale signs is when this event takes place each year!
When you think of Thompson’s Point in Portland you might imagine summertime concerts and trips to the restaurants and bars nearby. But, this year won’t wait until the summer to enjoy it! Head to the Maine Flower Show in March to get your spring started.

Of course, the exhibits are beautiful, but the space is just as wonderful. The ceilings are high and windows allow lots of light to stream in.
