The Boston Flower & Garden Show kicks off with a "Boston Parks Department Preview Party" fundraiser on Tuesday, March 13, from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Seaport World Trade Center.
Maria Stephanos of FOX25 News will host the gala with Honorary Chairs Mayor Thomas M. Menino and Boston's First Lady Angela Menino.
