There is a spot in Rhode Island where, despite the weather reports, it's a perfect spring day. Even a little fantastical.

The 15th annual Rhode Island Spring Flower & Garden Show begins today, and the fairy tales theme is bringing scenes from some of the the best-known fairy tales to the Rhode Island Convention Center.

It's a foliage festival that will turn Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty and other fables into mid-winter gardens through Sunday.

Horticulture experts, designers and artists will be on hand to give tips to home gardeners and a handful of children's activities should keep kids busy during winter break.

For more information, see the show's Web site.
