Galleria Floral Experience with Flowers by Bachman’s

The Galleria and Bachman’s have teamed up to bring you an artistic floral event with an Into the Deep theme for the 2024 Galleria Floral Experience!

Our spring tradition over the last number of years has been the Galleria flower show. The Galleria and Bachman’s have teamed up to bring some amazing and artistic floral events, each year with a different theme.

This year’s theme is Into the Deep, focusing on the flora and fauna of the ocean! It features vibrant, bright colors, sea installations, and surreal plants and flowers, waving with the tide.

Located throughout the Galleria in Edina, the floral experience is free with no admission charge. The Galleria is even offering free valet parking throughout the event. (Located at the east entrance near CōV Restaurant.)

Get your eyes and nose ready for this floral event running from March 24 to April 7th. 

At times it can get busy, so if you don’t like crowds or want to have the opportunity to snap the best photos without a wait, try to pick an off time, a weekday, an early morning or later in the evening.

When we walked through the amazing display last year, I was surprised by the smell, reminding me that spring is closer than we think. Just for a bit you can wander and pretend we’re no longer in winter.

• The biggest tree in the show measures 10 feet tall.
• The smallest flower (primrose) compares at a tiny two inches. 
• The plants are carefully prepared to bloom early in Bachman’s greenhouses, 20 minutes south of the Twin Cities. The plants start in their warm greenhouse seven weeks ahead of the show.

• More than 20 garden designers, installers, and expert horticulturalists at Bachman’s work on preparing and installing this project. 
• 4,166 miles is the farthest distance a bulb might travel to take part–from Holland to Minneapolis! Other plants will arrive from Florida, California, Ohio and South America! 
• It will take the Bachman’s team four overnight shifts, March 19-22, from the hours of 8 p.m. – 6 a.m., to bring in all the plants and to install the vignettes. Additional finishing touches will be completed Saturday, March 23, in preparation for the March 24 grand opening.
