Classic cars added to accent flowers displayed in Rhode Island Flower Show.
The theme of this year’s Flower Show at the Rhode Island Convention Center is Vintage Gardens. The unique floral installations created by landscape artists and designers displaying their craft will be paired with automobiles that reflect the concept and period of the garden in which they will be placed. There will be 20 cars. Most are vintage, reflecting the thematic foundation of the show. Like the flowers and plants that will surround them, the cars are works of art, carefully restored and tended like a fine garden, with exacting attention to detail and color, perfectly accessorized. Cars and gardens will be paired by era, and there will be cars from every decade from the 1920s to the present. Some of the beauties that can be seen will be a 1920 Ford Model T, a 1928 Ford Model A, a 1937 Ford Coupe, a 1945 Chevy pick-up truck, a 1959 Edsel, a 1957 Corvette and a 1966 Camaro.
In addition, the fifth floor of the convention center will showcase some very special cars, including a 1913 Cadillac, a 2012 Ferrari, and a 1950 Rat Rod. The automobiles will accent the already visually appealing Flower Show, will provide a unique decorative accent, and will increase the appeal of the show to a wider audience.
