European splendor and style await you at Festival of Flower's 2007 Giardini d'Italia. This premier garden event of the greater Gulf Coast, now in its 14th year, continues to grow in size and recognition, attracting over 15,000 visitors during its five day event. Festival of Flowers is held in the spring on the beautiful campus of Providence Hospital. Its breathtaking showcase covers over eight acres under tent and sky. Recognized by the American Bus Association (ABA) as one of the Top 100 Events in North America and by the Southeast Tourism Society (STS) as one of the Top 20 Events, the Festival has received acclaim from community and industry leaders as well as tourism officials. The floral extravaganza promotes an interest in gardening and beautification, and encourages the preservation of the natural beauty that is so much a part of Mobile's heritage, all while furthering the health care mission of Providence Hospital. Since 1994, The Festival of Flowers has been Mobile's most "scentsational" experience!
