Embrace the colors of spring in atmospheric surroundings with the overflowing floral abundance of the annual Lyndhurst flower show. Each year designers take over the Tarrytown mansion for one weekend, decking the already rich interior spaces with a profusion of blooms.

Over 20 florists are participating this year and the event, now known as Flower House, will also include vendors in several locations across the historic landscape. There will also be family-friendly activities on offer.

The Alexander Jackson Davis-designed mansion itself will be open for self-guided tours through three floors of floral displays. Displays in previous years have included over-the-top installations in the grand dining room and more modest moments in the servant’s domain downstairs.

A marketplace in the welcome center will include vendors selling botanical related items, accessories, and antiques. Food offerings will include pop-up cafes, food trucks, and a sangria truck. Some food vendors will also be stationed at the historic bowling alley. Last year it too was decorated with blooms.

The event takes place Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19 at Lyndhurst at 635 South Broadway in Tarrytown, N.Y. The flower show is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and tickets are required. Two ticket options are being offered. One allows entry into the mansion as well as all the activities on the grounds, while the other is a pass for the grounds only. Tickets that include access to the mansion range in price from $29 to $35, plus service fees. There will be a free shuttle bus running on the grounds to assist visitors in getting to the various locations.

Full information on the events of the day and tickets can be found on the Lyndhurst website.
