Carmel Valley Flower Show

The Carmel Valley Garden Show features beautiful plant and floral displays with accredited judging and demonstrations. The hand-picked vendors at our marketplace present plants, products and advice that can enhance your garden and your life. Proceeds from the popular Silent Auction allow us to make donations to local non-profits dedicated to improving the beauty and environment in Carmel Valley. Prominent local artists paint individual flowers, our Field of Flowers, which we auction as unique garden art. The Children’s Garden offers activities and music for kids preschool to upper elementary. You’ll find delicious food, wine, beer, coffee and other beverages. This is one event that should not be missed! Free admission, free parking.
