Cincinnati, Ohio (USA) - The Opening Night Gala is set to kick off the spectacular 15th anniversary Cincinnati Flower Show presented by Provident Bank at historic Coney Island. Proceeds from the 2004 Gala benefit the Wellness Community which provides support and education for those stricken with cancer and their loved ones. Guests are invited to enjoy an evening of stellar Flower Show exhibits and a delectable Progressive Dinner by-the-bite from Chef’s Choice at this annual Cincinnati celebration. Show highlights include ‘Inspired by Art...An Artist’s Home’ featuring a breathtaking interpretation of Claude Monet’s home and gardens at Giverny; ‘A Wizard’s Garden’ is an incredible train garden which transports you back to tales from childhood; and magic abounds as fairies come to life in ‘A Primrose Garden’!

The Wellness Community is part of a national network of agencies which provides support and education for those stricken with cancer and their loved ones. "We’re honored the Cincinnati Horticultural Society would choose the Wellness Community as the beneficiary of one of the premier social events of the year.
