House in Bloom 2023

Thank You for Another Wonderful House in Bloom Show!

House in Bloom was a creative treat at Gore Place this year! Thank you to the Waltham Garden Club and all the other independent artists for participating in this annual event, and creating such a spectacular show. More than 300 visitors came to see House in Bloom this year, which was offered free of charge alongside our annual Handmade for the Holidays crafts fair. 

This show is a rare opportunity to experience the spectacular 1806 Gore Mansion filled with classical and contemporary floral designs displayed throughout the 12 first-floor rooms. Each designer creates an arrangement inspired by the historic home’s beautiful architecture and furnishings.
