In response to CDC guidelines limiting the size of gatherings during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Preservation Society of Newport County announced today the 25th Newport Flower Show, scheduled for June 19-21 at Rosecliff, has been postponed until June 18-20, 2021.

New England’s premier flower show will retain its theme, “Voices In The Garden,” and all of the competitive classes will remain the same.

“We are disappointed that we could not celebrate our 25th Newport Flower Show this year, but the health and safety of our visitors is our priority,” Preservation Society CEO and Executive Director Trudy Coxe said in a statement. “We look forward to brighter days, and cannot wait to have you join us for Voices In The Garden 2021.”
