UNDER THE TUSCAN SUNLAMP. A movie theme is to be expected when Oscar night occurs during this year's Maymont Flower and Garden Show in Richmond (Feb. 24-27). "CineMagic" will feature a Morrocan "Casablanca" garden, a nod to "The Butterfly Effect" and other Hollywood-inspired horticulture. Learn tricks of the trade from the "Queen of Deadheading" and other lecturers, peruse the newest gardening props and see the supporting cast of exhibits like HATiculture (plant-covered head gear). Maymont's historical interpreters also host a Victorian fashion show for gardeners who lunch.
Garden show $14, fashion show $18. Thursday-Saturday 9 a.m.-8 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m.-6 p.m. About two hours from the Beltway at the Greater Richmond Convention Center, Richmond, Va. 804-358-7166, www.maymont.org. -- Anne McDonough
