The Georgia World Congress Center will be in full bloom starting Jan. 30, when it hosts the 21st Annual Southeastern Flower Show. This is the premiere horticultural happening in the South, and it's the place to go if you're into gardening. The show will feature more than three acres of floral exhibitions, as well as gardens created by top landscape designers, hands-on gardening demonstrations, a photography exhibit, a bookstore with more than 1,000 titles, and a special children's art program.

Nationally recognized speakers will be on hand to give presentations on topics ranging from cool garden gear to wedding bouquets. Some of the most talented horticulturalists in the country will be competing for top awards in categories such as 'Artistic Floral Design,' 'Professional Floral Design,' 'Garden Design,' and 'Best in Show Landscape.'
