Rooms of Blooms

February 29 – March 10, 2024


Experience the art of floral design with Rooms of Blooms! The historic Paine mansion features hundreds of floral arrangements embellishing each room.

Experience the Art of Floral Design

Celebrate the art of floral design with the fresh aromas and kaleidoscopic colors of floral arrangements embellishing each room of the historic Paine mansion.
