The inspiration behind the 2021 Flower Showhouse

The 2021 FLOWER Showhouse () is situated 40 minutes outside of Birmingham, Alabama, on 700 acres of rolling fields. The 2,200 sq ft farmhouse, designed by Birmingham-based architect Pete Pritchard and featuring interiors by Mary Evelyn McKee, sits on a hilly knoll surrounded by majestic hardwoods, stately evergreens, and lush meadows. The scenic Cahaba River, home of the famed Cahaba lilies, flanks one side of the property. The house was built as a private residence for FLOWER magazine’s Founder and Editor-In-Chief Margot Shaw and her husband, Gates.
