Shake off old man winter at Macy's 37th annual indoor flower show , which turns the beloved department store into a floral nirvana. Throughout March and April shoppers and nature enthusiasts alike may enjoy ten different lavishly created indoor gardens on the main floor, as well as tons of floral-inspired events throughout the store, from fashion shows to gardening and cooking demos.


More than 250,000 people stroll into Macy's flagship Herald Square location each year to see the elaborate and towering floral arrangements that usher in the new spring fashion season. Start your visit by strolling down the main aisle, which is majestically lined with cherry trees and other budding blooms.


Next, take in the many individually themed gardens, which this year include a Southern-inspired Antebellum Garden with palmetto palms, flowering dogwoods, and gardenias, a Hydrangea Garden, which features many varieties of this lush shrub, and an Urban Oasis Garden, where visitors may sit amid a retreat of flowing crabapples and mock orange trees. Other themed floral sections include a traditional English garden, a Japanese bonsai garden, and one devoted entirely to orchids. The visuals are spectacular and the fragrances divine! Come see for yourself, and while you're there, take in one or more of the following in-store events and demonstrations. "Bouquet-of-the-Day" demos, often by some of New York's greatest floral artists, are listed here and wedding-related floral demos are listed here .


Complimentary guided tours of the 37th annual Macy's Flower Show are offered daily and last approximately 30 minutes. Tours leave from the 35th Street entrance and take place from 11 AM–4 PM. For additional information, contact the Macy's Flower Show hotline at (212) 494-4495.
