Flora in Winter, on view Thursday through Sunday, January 26-29, features fresh floral arrangements interpreting works of art at the Worcester Art Museum (55 Salisbury St, Worcester) and "A Floral Feast" at Tower Hill Botanic Garden (11 French Drive, Boylston). Garden club members and floral designers from throughout Central New England have volunteered to create the arrangements. Visitors will admire gorgeous arrangements in the Worcester Art Museum's galleries and in the Education & Visitors Center at Tower Hill, as well as floral displays sponsored by area florists to adorn public spaces. Guided tours at each location will be offered several times daily. Special Events celebrating Flora in Winter will be held at each institution throughout the period.

At Tower Hill Botanic Garden, celebrate "A Floral Feast" as the inspiration for arrangements displayed in Tower Hill's Education & Visitors Center, including the Limonaia opened in the fall of 2010, adjacent to the lush subtropical blooms and greenery in the Orangerie, with the backdrop of the Winter Garden. Enjoy stunning floral interpretations inspired by life's many banquets-feasts of celebration, holidays and honor. Feasts may also be interpreted as feasts for the senses, of decadence, or of giving. Be sure to visit and explore how our masterful designers interpret "A Floral Feast." Talented floral designers will reach the heights of artistic expression in this one-of-a-kind show.

On Friday, January 27 at 7:30 pm, Tower Hill enhances the mood and atmosphere of Flora in Winter with a Candlelight Concert presented by renowned jazz pianist Dr. Elliot Steger and friends.
